Please join us at FLLS on Thursday, April 9th for an afternoon in-person session with Mike Bishop.
Thursday, April 9 from 1:15-3:30pm (Immediately follows the Spring into Summer Reading meeting lunch.)
Description: Building community is one antidote to the many challenges we are facing in living into our core motto: libraries are for everyone. As we enter our busiest time of year, how do we maintain our compassion and manage the traumas experienced by ourselves, our patrons, and our profession? In this session we will create spaciousness with music and art to explore a practical communication model (Johari Window) and apply our insights with a mask making activity. First, we will take an in-depth look at the Johari Window model and how it can strengthen our ability to share and listen to feedback and stories. Mask making will offer time to creatively get “caught up” in our own stories of strength and endurance. Directions will be provided including several options for mask themes. Participants will leave with insight and inspiration for the work ahead.
