Workgroup Notes: ATD and Speaking Circles

Written by Laurie Javier

1. The connecting exercise (looking into our partners eyes without speaking) was a powerful exercise. We thought that Lee could create it in a way that it would fit into the early part of the symposium to get people in relationship with one another and feeling safe.

2. The connection that is possible after doing such an exercise can really help overcome some of the social justice issues as well. Our theory was that once one feels connected and safe with a person they no longer exclude them (whether they were aware of doing that or not).

3. Lee thought that he could create an exercise that could be used at the end of the symposium that would have people leaving the symposium in a great space. A space that was open and inviting to everyone; to the strangers on the street.
