Thank you very much to Meg, Koos, Joelle, Michael, and Agneta. The last three workshops I gave, I stumbled upon a similar ritual: I have placed 5 objects in the center of a circle. The objects represent: Meaning; Creativity; Human Interrelationships; Death and Emptiness; and Happiness.
People are invited to pick up an object and tell the group 1. what their experience has been with the subject it represents; and 2. what their intentions are about it. It takes people quickly to a deep, important level. It is storytelling, but without asking for a story, and without requiring any use of the theme of the workshop (meeting Michael's requirement). Oh, and the workshops have been other than OST, using journaling, meditation and contemplation, and listening stick circles. :-Doug.
