Shared Values Activity

Guest speaker-Judi Jameson

She had us do an activity with our shared values. We did a "four corners" approach at the end to agree on the group values.

Processing the Values Process:

We experienced community for just the fact that people were able to express their differences while feeling comfortable to share and all expressing in a respectful manner. Necessary to maintain even though their body is doing something different. Through other people’s experiences, you understand yourself. From day one, we were all felt community. Then again, we aren’t community. There are opinions that are repressed, and I can feel it. We are a community in waiting. We are revisiting some old wounds born in the family. And we needed it and were so ready for it.

This discussion is helping to form an indigineous culture. We are native to humans and we are going back to our root of humanity.

We are powerful because we have so many perspectives. We have so many differences and challenges. We need to give kudos and props to everyone because we are very diverse and coming from different hierarchies of education.
