Today was my Morning Meeting. Remember I had been saying that I wanted to do something super crazy and cool? Ok, I had everybody blindfolded and....
Made them try different foods and describe what they tasted and how they experienced it.
My intention was for them to approach something they already knew well, like a Pomegranate or an Oreo Cookie, as a stranger, like Socrates says in Plato's Apology.
My MM was divided in three parts: Activity # 1, which consisted in transmitting a feeling using only your eyes, no utterance of any sound whatsoever. Activity # 2 was the one I just described; approaching food as a new experience. And the third part was a debriefing, where everybody shared what they had learned.
I was grateful that Grace joined the Inner Circle (she was late) and shared her understanding of the MM because she said what I had been hoping was the lesson taken from the activity; dare to try new things, and approach "old things", past knowledge, as if you had never experienced it before.
