A Project on Time and Ageing. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Does marking time also help “make” time? This is a ritual process counting 100 days before turning age 40 and 100 days after turning age 40. In each ten day period counting down to my 40th birthday, I focus on one colour, one “sister elder” and one intention. I also have daily practices like journaling, reading, and to-do list making to organize and mark and take my time slowly and with care. For 100 days out of my birthday, I also marked time with 10 ten-day periods, in which each period was focused on a particular energetic intention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTERVIEWS: Every ten days, I chose a different Sister \/ Elder to interview about time and ageing. I asked their help and advice about my process. I recorded these conversations with those who gave me permission. Others exchanged with me some advice via text message and email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COLORS | CHAKRAS: At the suggestion of my aunt Jenny, each day counting into my birthday, I committed to wearing one colour and one colour only. I wore this single colour for the entire ten day period to see how and if it would affect my energetic center and balance.<\/p>\n\n\n
