Imagination Walk by Erin Eldershaw
This is an audio walk to help connect with imagination and creativity. The listener will be slowly taken through a 10 minute exercise which will help the brain focus on creating and sustaining mental images as you interact with them in a fabricated world. This can be explored lying down, sitting in a comfortable position, or walking through any atmosphere you wish.

I cannot speak for you, but I will walk with you by Rohan Dhupar
This audio piece is a guided dance/movement exploration that drops you into different sections of your space using imagery inspired by events from the Civil Rights Movement, specifically events on Sunday March 7th, 1965. If you wish to fully embody and engage with this piece, a space with enough room to move through is ideal where you are able to identify a clear right side, left side, front end and back end of the space.
