Brainstorm
In our initial thinking about our theme for this semester we wanted
to revisit something we had already done. Following the advice of Ebn,
we sought to see what it felt like to engage with a theme more than once
to help ourselves grow as facilitators and to see how a theme changes
over time, with new people, at a different moment in history. We have
also been thinking more about how to bring our work with the Minyan out
into other communities. How does the same theme respond to a new
setting, or to people with diverse backgrounds? After reflecting on past themes (Shema to Ge'ulah: the move from oneness to redemption, Modes of Leadership, and "Baruch Atah YHVH": the move from orientation to disorientation) we decided to play with Modes of Leadership a second time.
Simultaneously, Adam and I were processing a powerful movement experience
