		<description><![CDATA[Lauren experiences nudist performance for the first time and discusses what emerges when the layers are removed: "...not once did this feel like a shock-value tactic. Rather, their nudity felt more like an invitation to explore a new way of thinking about bodies and the ways that we navigate the world and create space using our bodies. The ways that we create space for ourselves in a world that isn’t quite ready for how full and rich our identities truly are."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, Jyl thinks in metaphor and about emotional truth: "Emotional truth is hard to explain. Because it is not exactly the truth, it’s the memory of what happened and the feelings surrounding the memory. For a writer, emotional truth is more powerful than the reality... This is how to think as a writer. Tell your story and nobody else's."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lauren shares her experience of poetry and puppetry after speaking with Amber West of "Alphabet Arts": "More than anything, it's comforting to see generosity injected back into art-making. Although West really understands how to craft engaging poems and produce and perform a puppet poem, she truly understands the importance of a dialogue and exchange between artists and audiences."]]></description>
