Gabor Maté: Real Time Graphic Recordings

Christina Merkley — Fri, 06 Jul 2018 16:01:36 +0000

Graphic Recording, as many of my readers know, is a real-time visual note taking process done in a public manner, usually with large sheets of mural size paper (although other materials can also be used including digital means).
