It has finally ended…three days ago that is. The focus was on connections and making meaning. I’d just write about what we did, but after watching the other presentations I realize we went a different direction than the rest.
It began with everyone bringing in an object that was meaningful to them. I brought in my pocket knife. I’ve always loved knives for the same reason as I love bikes, their simplicity. This one was with me throughout my time in Peace Corps as well so it has helped me through some crazy times. My other group members brought in a disposable lighter, some old silver rings and a tea infuser. We were suppose to develop a shared meaning among other things. We wrote our answers on cards and turned them in. Key words from our answers were given back to us to make connections. Our words included
- Future
- Peaceful
- Accomplish
- Movement
- Emotional Outlet
- Future | Moon
- Peaceful | Lights
- Accomplish | Corruption
- Movement | Mind
- Emotional Outlet | Forest
