Sense without sight (Fri. time ACCURATE, see description)

Workshop by Sai

Friday from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM in Sense Without Sight (Sai's tent)

ACTUAL PLACE: Starting at my tent & moving throughout camp. Look for the conlang flag. See: * https://s.ai/emf#workshop * https://map.emfcamp.org/#18.5/52.04114905937723/-2.376721780494961/m=52.04114905937723,-2.376721780494961 * https://bsky.app/profile/s.ai/post/3mqronkgu5s2z ACTUAL TIME: Every day, depending on my stamina. Exact time TBD each morning or the night before, emailed to you, based on my availability and yours. Probably only 1 a day except for people in an exceptional category. USE THE SIGN-UP FORM: https://s.ai/emf/ws Take a walk with me through camp — blindfolded, with one of my guide canes — and sense the world like I do: using air currents, heat, sound, echolocation, ground texture, wind shadow, and more. It's a unique, permanent sensory upgrade you can still use when sighted. Details of what to expect: https://s.ai/emf#workshop ## Mandatory: * Sign up using the form at https://s.ai/emf/ws * Be completely sober. * Have at least 1.5 hours free (preferably 2). * Fill out feedback form afterwards: https://s.ai/emf/fb ## Very strongly encouraged: * Watch my CCC talk about this: https://s.ai/ccc You'll learn much more if we can focus on what I can't show in the talk. * Bring a friend or prior participant to act as your assistant, and sign up as one to pass it on to others. The two experiences are very different, and are both valuable — and I can't teach as many people simultaneously without help. * Pee, drink, and wash your hands beforehand. * Wear clothing that leaves head and arms uncovered, and thin shoes that let you feel the ground. * Use a group coordination code on the sign-up form to get scheduled with your friends etc. ## Special: I may run additional bespoke workshops, at different times, if you: 1. have a current or likely future visual impairment that may benefit from cane use, whether or not you've had O&M; 2. have other disabilities that would benefit from doing this 1-on-1 (e.g. Deaf or wheelchair user); 3. work professionally with cane users or in very low visibility environments; 4. are part of EMF staff, volunteers, etc.; 5. can video record the workshop (e.g. stabilised GoPro), or participate on camera; or 6. have some other good reason for me to do an extra session or in a bespoke manner. If any of that applies to you, please indicate it on the sign-up form, and include all times that could work for you — including day 0 (Thursday). ## Weather If it's raining, or the ground is still muddy from recent rain, the workshop will be cancelled. There's one exception: if you have visual impairment, it's still on no matter what the conditions are. You need to know how to get around no matter what the weather is.
