Find Your Fool Workshop notes

Day 1

 Day 2

Today on the find your fool course, I got very frustrated. Why? Because of the group member who was so stubborn he took up so much time because he was unwilling to step into his inner world. The world Jonathan Kay teaches us to use as the jumping off point. If we can picture anywhere we know – our own bedroom, kitchen, garden, anything, commentate, demonstrate, speculate, judge, then we can take an audience on an improvised story or journey. This man was very resistant to the theory. He is a drain on energy. I became angry.

I was ok with Rita’s inability to understand English.

I was ok with A’s need to work through the block of her horrific, abused childhood, in which Jonathan helped her to chain saw her abuser into little pieces and then let those pieces be re-arranged into a Buddah.

I was ok with A 2 worrying about whether she was doing the right thing marrying her husband.

I was ok with R being back in catholic school, where he had not studied for the exam and where the sadistic priest beat him.

I was ok with W’s first scenario, in his room with his cat and the barred door and the cat flat with attitude.

I will re-arrange myself for tomorrow, I must not hold back. I must jump in and experiment. I must be pushy like the others.

I must remember my mischief. I must notice my dictator.
