opening: mission statement silent time word: essence intro sentence: I feel an endless amount of… stepping stones/synchronicities: share creative journeys and guiding influences business notes: remind one another to read creative inventory questions before next meeting jewel box: workshop — vision book stepping stones for next meeting: closing: brief silent time The sister i workshop is designed to initiate problem solving through fun and innovative projects that will inspire your creative journey. Basic instructions encourage members to share ideas and explore a variety of materials with one another. The summer workshop encourages the circle to engage in imaginative story telling. Each circle sister writes a short paragraph that describes a defining moment she envisions having, and hopes to accomplish, at some point in her creative journey. She then asks the other women in the circle to contribute by sharing their reflective and supportive story lines. The final piece is an intimate book to give support and encouragement for your creative journey. You will need to orchestrate your workshop by following these specific instructions: 1. First, read through the instructions, and then coordinate a timeline for your workshop. 2. Create a simple blank book by folding several sheets of paper in half and then sandwiching them together. Allot for at least one page for each sister to share her "chapter" of your story. The size and quality of paper is individually decided. 3. On the inside of the first page, each member describes a significant moment or vision she hopes to experience during her creative journey. Examples: a book signing event, finishing a race, feeling freedom, a peaceful phone call, or a spiritual encounter. 4. Each circle sister hands their book to the person next to them. 5. Read your fellow sister's introduction and reflect on it. Turn to the next blank page and write your vision for how the story continues using a supportive and reflective voice. When you are finished, pass the book to the next person. 6. Repeat step 4 until the book is returned to its owner. 7. Write a closing comment in your vision book. 8. Label and bind your book with the junk box suggestions! junk box suggestions: paper (an assortment of decorative paper or fabric, brown grocery bag paper, weighted watercolor paper) an assortment of writing tools (gel pens, gold markers, watercolor pencils) simple binding materials (satin ribbon, raffia, long blades of grass, beads) music — decide who will bring a CD player camera — send us a photo and we’ll post it in the gallery!
