Family history writing.
It’s an understatement to say that many problems in the world exist because we don’t know enough about one another. First and foremost, it’s difficult to have empathy for someone and to act with compassion toward that person if we don’t know what it’s like to be that person. The late Anthony Bourdain hosted a wonderful television series, No Reservations, that introduced viewers to people around the world in such a way that made viewers realize that humans have much in common, no matter where they live and what their identities are. Bourdain was skilled at asking questions that got people to talk about who they are and what they want others to know about them. In this workshop, we will discuss questions that help let others know who we are and what we want them to know about us. Following the discussion, we will write for a while and share what we have written. Everyone is encouraged to share, but no one is required to do so.
