"Clues [to our inner workings] come to us in our reactions to films. We cry, laugh, or feel fear at certain moments and don't know why. We become engaged in a scene or character and can tell we are reacting more strongly than is accounted for by what is happening on the screen. We are relating to the characters and events as projections of our own story. We are finding out what we really felt in similar moments in our own lives and how we still feel even now. We are moved by the plight of the hero and we guess it is or was our own. We hear the heroine say just what we would have said if we had been free to do so. We see tears that we were meant to shed. We shed tears that were waiting their turn." ~ David Richo from "When the Past is Present"I invite you to join me in exploring this terrain together. Each month I will be offering a series of films on different topics. These will take place on Monday evenings from 6:30 until 9:30 (either 4 or 5 times depending on how many Mondays there are in that month). Starting in June, we will be exploring *Awakenings through Films*. We will meet June 7, 14, 21 and 28. The cost for all 4 sessions will be a sliding scale, $60 - 80. Drinks and light refreshments will be served. Some hand-out reading will be included. Space is limited to 12, so pre-registration is necessary. Please feel free to forward this message to those you feel might be interested.Marla Estes, M.A. is a teacher, workshop facilitator, writer and mentor who often uses film as a window to understanding ourselves and others.For questions or sign-ups: marla16@charter.net or 541 482 4948
