Theme: Telling Our Stories – How We Got from There to Here
Who we are today is partly determined by the experiences we’ve had and what we’ve learned from them. We are also the product of generations before us. What stories did they hand down to us? What are the stories about ourselves we tell others? Let’s gather to share our stories and learn from those of others.
Queries:
· What is a favorite book or story from my childhood that has shaped my life?
· What were some important turning points in my life?
· Reflecting on the movie Arrival,if you could view your life as animage, as a story told in one nonlinear and infinite symbol, how might you modify thatlife symbolif you could rewriteany aspects of your life?
More queries will be sent out in March before we gather. Please share any ideas you have for queries and activities around the theme.
