How about a session on making and its transformative power? Steve/ Bongo and I have been meaning to write a paper on this for a while. We haven’t done that yet but we did write this post after attending a conference http://www.floweringelbow.org/2012/mend/musings-on-mending-mendrs/ .
David Gauntlett has written a book called ‘Making is Connecting’. Seems you can get the intro and conclusions of his book from the website free http://www.makingisconnecting.org/, and videos etc
Also, how about combining with a practical session? As it happens we are organising our first open workshop day at the start of next month (9th November) – maybe we could do a reading group on Friday the 8th, or the following Friday to reflect on a visit? Details of the workshop and open day here: http://www.floweringelbow.org/about-us/monthly-open-days/

Great idea, Sam! I would love to combine reading and practice (the timing is not so good for me as we are away, but maybe we can do it with a slightly longer lead-in time – if you go ahead now, anyway, maybe we can arrange a second one?)

I also love this idea. I unfortunately can’t make the 8th-9th as I have guests visiting, but would be able to make the week following or another date that suits others. Sorry I didn’t make the last one!
