What an extraordinary start to our Brave Audio Journaling Workshop series at The Brave Women’s Community Theatre!
As the clock neared 1 PM last Saturday, our hearts were heavy with anticipation. Would anyone show up? Then, one by one, Sarah, Kirsten, and Meredith walked through the door, their presence a comforting affirmation that it only takes a few to make a profound impact.
We had prepared for 15, arranging the room to be a cozy sanctuary with snacks and fresh coffee, hoping to welcome a crowd. But as the minutes ticked by, the reality of our three attendees set in. I'll admit, a wave of disappointment initially washed over me—the daunting quiet reminiscent of a party where no one shows up.
Yet, what unfolded with our three brave participants was nothing short of magical. It wasn't about the numbers; it was about the connection, the creativity, and the courage each woman brought into the space. We dove into our fears, laughed over our inner critics, and shared stories that resonated deeply, binding us in a way that felt almost spiritual.
By the end of the workshop, Claudia, my amazing board member, and I realized the perfection in the day's unexpected turnout. These were the women who needed to be there—the ones who needed this community the most, and perhaps, the ones we needed too to remind us why we started this journey.
We may not have had a crowd, but the richness of the experience couldn't have been greater. To Sarah, Kirsten, and Meredith, thank you for stepping into this journey with us and for helping to create a truly special afternoon. Your stories and spirits have not only touched my heart but have reignited my passion for this project.
Here’s to many more sessions where small numbers cast wide ripples. Sometimes, the smallest gatherings can bring about the deepest connections and the most meaningful change. 💖
Join us next time on Saturday November 2nd to experience the magic for yourself!
