This chapter invites readers to learn about wayfolding – our manner of navigating in and through the f/old as somatic/artistic practice. We prefer to the word ‘wayfolding’ to the word ‘process’, one that takes its precedent from the word/concept of wayfinding. For simplicity, the authors have parsed out a few signposts, formatting them as a list, one following another. Taken together, they function more like a wave collage – a collaging in operation at any one moment. These under/overtaking ripples are blended modalities of observation, orientation and sourcing. We invite you to read about them with this spirit.

Keywords: catalytic tensions ; collage(collaging) iteritive ; embodiment ; improvisation ; kinaesthetic exploration ; liminality ; littoral ; movement ; navigation, ; orientation ; pathway ; punctum ; re-entry ; reverse blink ; ritual ; somatic practice ; state
