2 Sessions: the first 1½ hours; the second 3 hours
Sharing lives and stories is the essence of existence. It’s what makes life meaningful. It’s what connects us. It’s how we learn from one another. Yet few of us leave to our descendants stories of life as we have experienced it. Session 1 will be information-based and will focus on why we tend to look backward (traditional genealogy) and on the benefits of looking forward in our search for generational connections. Session 2 will be a double session in time and will focus on sharing in small groups self-chosen short stories of life that might prove useful or interesting to future generations. Attendees will be encouraged to write during the two-week period between sessions. Please note that the stories will only be shared and discussed, NOT EVALUATED!
