For our culminating event, I’d love to have a gallery walk of our Camphill portraits and self-portraits as well as listening conversations with our guests. I’ve been trying to think of a way to teach Monsoon and Benaifer’s methods without having a full day workshop. I’m not sure it’s possible to get everyone to the same place we got to, but if it can’t be done whole-heartedly, does it defeat the purpose of the technique all together?
Maybe we could present the basic elements of their performance and speak about what the workshop was like for us and how we’ve incorporated it into our 360. Can we talk about how to present the elements of Monsoon and Benaifer’s method in a way that encourages people to take it to their classrooms and relationships? I’ve gained so much from this 360, and I think that helping people outside of our group to use these strategies for storytelling and listening would be a great thing to give to our community. Hopefully if we keep talking about it, it will continue to spread.
I think we should also have pictures of Camphill and either a written or spoken presentation of our trip. We could each write a short piece or we could all work together to write something longer.
