R.A.W = Realities Around the World
This sat(AM+PM) & sun AM , i joined a gathering of 7folks at Green circle for a farming-cum-brainstorming workshop.
Wendy e founder of Raw, together with Farheen & Andrew facilitated 3 sessions : I)Self-introduction & sharing of life-defining moments (using drawing, items), II) Discussion on Activism n Spirituality III) Sharing & Brainstorming Raw.
I especially enjoyed the Introductions, the fun ice-breaker games of using an Adjective-Name.
This was also a group who spoke very expressively using proper english, which was something i had not encountered for a long time ;) . Vivacious, A-jar.. wah!
These fellas also marketed their literature list very well, now i m motivated to sacrifice sleep for those must-read books!
The sands of time ran out fast, & we didnt seem to be able to finish all of e 2nd & 3rd discussions. i hope something comes out of this.
Things which struck a chord, (1) Raising Awareness (social, environmental issues) (2) Fairtrade (3) Alternative community living.
