Many thanks Adrian, I will have a look at these very helpful resources. Micro-rituals are things that I use in my own studio practice in terms of getting into the right headspace e.g. making a cup of tea in a particular cup but spatial prompts aren’t something I had previously considered. Really appreciate your time and in-depth engagement here.
