This group began by having us line up as detainees in an re-enactmactment of what happened during the G20 arrests. We were not allowed to communicate with each other and we were advised as to what we had been charged with. For food we were given a cracker and a drink, quietly we returned back to our seats. It evoked the intended reaction of uneasiness.
The group talks about how we are inundated with information and naturally we get confused and find it difficult to be critical about what information we are getting. Connecting with ourselves in order to better connect with others was a point that was made by the group. So, we participated in the bowing ritual as written out in a post below.
