The first session of my Art of Memory course went well this morning.
My favorite part: a student suggested doing a project to memorize knowledge related to (urban) foraging (what’s available, safe, identification, etc.)! Its a fantastic example because this is exactly the sort of practical knowledge many indigenous (primarily oral) peoples have used these techniques for over time.
If you’re late to the game, I think you can still register (and I’m happy to catch people up) before our next session in two weeks on July 24th.

Sounds like Art of Memory is off to a great start! Love this idea re: memorizing knowledge around urban foraging.
It’s only met once so reach out to Chris if you’re interested in belatedly joining the cohort!
