Eleven of the twelve students who signed up for the free class showed up yesterday for the first session. We had five volunteers, all of whom contributed their own stories to the mix when we were story-telling.
That's what we do for the first session: We tell stories. We go around the room and tell them. We interview one another and tell the other's story to the group.
And Joe (the filmmaker turned Presbyterian minister) and I listen to the silences, to the power places where the stories resonate, and we instinctively aim for those places.
It was amazing and wonderful and full of exactly the kind of magic I've come to expect from this class.
