Each session will consist of: 1) An "attunement" by Robin,
|
|
lasting no more than 10 minutes (optional; depends on the desires
|
|
of the lecturer); 2) A talk by the lecturer putting forth the
|
|
issues, plus what s/he knows about them, lasting 30- 40 minutes;
|
|
4) A break; 5) further discussion and/or hands-on practise,
|
|
lasting 40 minutes.

|
Handouts will include: reading lists, outlines, and whatever else
|
|
the lecturer provides in the way of xeroxes from books, pictures,
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
During the warmer months, sessions can (and should!) be held
|
|
outdoors. "Field trips" to the UC Botanical Garden, Tilden Park,
|
|
and the beach, should be arranged.
|
|
|
|
This makes 17 sessions. At one per month, the program will last
|
|
almost a year and a half, at the end of which, hopefully,
|
|
everyone will have the theoretical basis for a white cord.
|
|
Delivery of same is, of course, up to the discretion and/or whim
|
|
of You Know Who.

|
|
There should be some way of evaluating progress, either self-
|
|
evaluation by the individual, or evaluation by us. What should
|
|
this way be? Homework? Essays? Testing?
