As many people have discovered, it can be very helpful to share our personal concerns and stories with others and to have them share theirs with us.
Human beings are storytellers, but the stories of our lives are often untold or poorly understood.
In sharing, we come to understand ourselves better, affirm ourselves, get out of stuck places, and move our lives along. As we share, we obtain the support of others, and we feel more deeply connected and less alone. If you would like to participate in this kind of sharing, form a pair or group. A group might be no more than three or four or it could be quite large if it broke into subgroups for sharing. There would be no fee or leader, and members might take turns in hosting the meetings which could begin or end with a potluck meal.
