Workshop
Communication Workshop. Contact Janice Randall for information
Description of workshop
"GOD. PEACE. DEMOCRACY. SECURITY." These are all words that can be highly misunderstood. Such vague generalities are often used to manipulate and are key words when dragging a nation to war. However those of us who want to move towards greater understanding, find we must improve our communication skills so that our days are not filled with missed opportunities. What is it that we really mean? Whether one writes songs, poems, letters to the editor or sermons,we are all story telling. How do we find the words that most profoundly express what we mean? How do we tell a story in such a way that the reader/listener leans into the ideas? Good writing is an invitation. For me, because I am interested in social change and community, I practice "active noticing" and "creative curiosity". I try to remain open to new ideas, to be willing to change my opinion, to enjoy challenging the misinformation that may have made its way into my little childhood brain. In this workshop, I will offer up tools that can be of use in this journey towards creative expression. Even if your main form of communication is talking to a neighbor over the fence, this "practice" can help keep that conversation alive.
