For a long time, I facilitated group workshops called “Paying Attention.” In the afternoon session, I’d instruct the group to make a collaborative piece of art that we called The Collage of Distraction, and while they were cutting out words and images from magazines that represented all the things that keep us distracted from the present moment, I’d go outside and hang up a dozen or so big yellow signs with instructions for paying attention to one aspect of the world at a time.
