Participant Comments
Survey Question 2:
What has meant the most to you about participating in this group?
-
Having the opportunity to talk about serious, complex, universal issues and questions with people whose thoughts and ideas I wouldn’t usually have the chance to hear. And not just “talk”—truly discuss, laugh, debate, and share beliefs and ideas that were sometimes very different than mine and sometimes very similar.
-
The open-ness [sic], and warmth of knowing your views are well welcomed.
-
…you learn a lot of different things from people in all different ages.
-
The Toghetherness [sic].
-
The fact that we were all brought together in the same discussion.
-
Opportunity to meet with others from different backgrounds to share thoughts on one common story. Often showed our feelings are not so different.
-
Getting to know people I otherwise would not have been able to meet.
-
The stories are abstract but they give me insight into big issues in my life.
-
The welcome I feel in the group and the support each member gave to all the others.
-
The enjoyment that the group members had in each other’s company—shared thoughts, laughter, experiences were respectfully received. I felt no discomfort in revealing myself in the group.
-
Experience to learn from one another…changed my life.
-
Reading the stories and discussing them with the guys from here and the ladies really helped broaden my outlook on things and make me more understand [sic] of their viewpoints.
-
Being able to talk about what I was reading with the lady’s [sic] they are great, I hope they keep coming the class is good!
