I tell you, I’m signed up to read the next chapter of this journey and, hands on the mat, the best, most enervating description of a writing workshop I’ve read (and wish I had attended). I love the simple combo of “awareness” with methodology (without overemphasizing the latter)–so that the writer has tools to translate with. And fearlesslness. In a workshop, the throat (not the balls) of every attendee should be blue. Perhaps you and Vandana will someday engineer a multicultural melange in the States and I’ll be able to participate. What you and Vandana (in your posts) have created is a state of desire, not envy.
