About Graduate Workshops:  We will create a space of safety and support within which we can challenge ourselves to be real, to stretch and to connect.  With old and new experiential exercises, opportunities for feedback, Arc time and support for setting new intentions, this graduate workshop will remind us of the value of EE and the graduate community.

About the 4/6/24 One Day:  As we experience and discuss in the EE workshop, fear often shapes our lives, preventing us from going after what we want, sometimes even preventing us from knowing what we want.  Sometimes fear is a mild anxiety we try to ignore or push aside; other times, we experience terror or panic and fear owns us.  It takes so many forms, prompting us to see others and the world as threatening and untrustworthy, yet our first response is often to deny and pretend.  To be afraid, we feel, is shameful, so we, much too often, get to be alone with our fears.  Part of the value of the workshop is that we experience what happens when we stop denying and pretending.  In a safe place, we find that others we thought had it all together are hiding their fears.  As we begin to see our common fears, we find new ways to manage and overcome them.  We can name them, put them in their place, see ways to live in spite of the dangers they keep bringing to our minds.  Part of what we learn is to take risks even when we are afraid, to have courage and trust that we can handle what results from the risks we take.

Of course, all of this takes different forms for each of us.  Our fears have their own shapes, and the ways we have adapted to them are our own, as are the tools we have used to manage them.  Yet, perhaps, as we learn in the workshop, we have more in common than we might think and much to learn from each other about fear and courage.

We’ll develop these themes through experiential exercises, reflection and discussion, building on our common workshop experience.
