May 7th 2013.
Our second evening of Journey Back to Yourself. It began well and started to bubble with the energy of sharing insights and practicing skills. As things went along, things really started cooking. Somehow everyone knew that this plain, overly hot classroom had become a small oasis of safety and support for those two hours. Prison slipped away for that slice of time, whether we were inmates or volunteers.
We had a new woman in the group, who was updated on what she had missed the previous week by the other women—levels of listening and coaching triads. We did some more coaching in triads and then looked at values. That really opened up an uplifting train of thought. As the weeks unfold I know that we will be looking at the gap between our values and our lives, then taking steps to be accountable for action steps towards fully living our values. Can’t wait for the next session!
