I want to accentuate Ricky's structure for this gathering. If I understand her earlier posts, at least initially, we will use a Round Robin structure. This means that each person gets from 3-5 minutes, completely without interruption, questions, or discussion, simply to describe their life as it comes to them in that moment. I love it each time I do it. This time, I will be seeing my life through the lens of 'high school leading to now' or some such, and the 'narrative' will be different from the last time I told it through a different lens. If you find that cocktail party smooging can be overwhelming, or you feel like you just aren't being able to hear enough from each person to really connect, then this is the place for you. I always think of such groups as the perfect 'group' for Introverts like myself: you don't even have to take a turn if you don't want to and can just listen. And speaking without being interrupted or directed to a certain content by anyone else is very satisfying. Time left over? Then, yes, the more typical discussion. That can be very stimulating, too, and, believe me, if the way to get a turn is by interrupting, I will be in there with the best. But I mostly look forward to the peacefulness and non-competitiveness of the Round Robin structure. Did I get it right, Ricky, that this is the structure you will be leading? Kathy
