Nourishing a Culture of Thinking

ACTIVITY 3     A Culture of Thinking Storytelling

Step 1

Watch Activity Video 3

Explore through storytelling some of your experiences in the past with living in a culture where thinking is toxic, as well as imagining into a culture where thinking is nourishing. 4-6 people gather together, sharing popcorn style (tolerate silence between things); inviting people to share when they are ready to share.

Step 2

Round 1: Share experiences of thinking in a toxic culture (from work, school, families, or communities)

Step 3

Round 2: Look at qualities that are nourishing for a culture of thinking, and highlight, for you, which element would make the most positive difference; tell a story about this.

Step 4

If time left, have a group conversation about how to do this together: remind one another, encourage nourishing thinking, block toxic thinking.
