07-November Session with Laura

The monday session with Laura was all about narrative and story-telling.

Exercises¶

How were you collected today?¶

Sunlight felt particularly special that day as I tended to slow my pace as I walked in the few spots where the sun directly hit. Looking back, it was a signal that I needed to heal and recharge (got sick the next day).

String game¶

We all shared our thoughts about the shared experiences we’ve had,as a class/community, while making this large web of red yarn.

Reflection¶

Honestly, I was starting to feel under the weather that day which might be the reason why I was having a hard time grasping the lesson and exercises. What I’m beginning to understand and appreciate is the careful attention that are placed on the word/terms and their meanings. Air quotes have been used frequently.

I am still behind on the things I want to read to better understand the philosophy topics being discussed.

I still don’t know if I’m doing this right.
