PART 3 · LESSON 26 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

The circle opens to new participants

In a larger circle, Ana invites those who haven't spoken yet to connect Rosa's story to their own lives, and learns to ask what resonated and to ask for a different perspective. Say for those who haven't spoken yet what resonated with you in Rosa's story, the summer coat I arrived in July with a winter one, so the same story in reverse, same sweat different month, would anyone like to add a different perspective, I was born here and I still don't know my neighbors, that's a different perspective, is it allowed, it's the reason we're here, then sit next to me now I know everyone.
