Striving to Become Fully Human

ACTIVITY 1  Messages Reflection and Discussion

Step 1

Spend 10 minutes of quiet time. On a large sheet of paper, reflect on different frames and generalizations, movies you have seen, stories we have heard, images, metaphors (from the computer, magazines, news, and so on).

How do these erode your sense of your own humanity, nobility, courage and capacity to work with others? Where do you see this showing up, and what consciousness do you have of it? Take notes on what you discover.

Step 2

Get together in a small group (3-5 people) to share your insights. 

Step 3

With your group, discuss the following questions. What does this mean? How can we strive to recover our humanity? What can we do as an organization to protect ourselves from these ‘eroding images’?
