WE, the BREATH is an opening ritual that binds us together in a common endeavor to create a new world. We come together in a collective commitment – a liturgy – to welcome a new day, a new era. How can we shape a new reality and redefine our living space? What is needed to do so? How can we insist on and invest in changing the world? What can we do against suffocation and breathlessness? How do we move forward after the break and with the experience of, for example, COVID, Black Lives Matter, and the performance oriented society, which exerts so much pressure that more and more people become breathless because of the excessive pace and rushing. And then get sick and burned out?
