Opening my Third Eye to Connect all the Pieces.

I embarked on a visual note-taking journey during my Social Foundations class offered by Dr. Rachel Fendler at Florida State University. Below is a clear description of the chart:

• Foundational quote from the bell hook's reading: “…there is an aspect of our vocation that is sacred" (continued below - hooks, 1994, p. 13).
  • The foundational quote's relationship to my Divine assignment - My Divine assignment is to create and hold spaces for self-restoration and healing. I "grant" permission to show up whole and authentic (hooks, 1994 pg. 6 & 15).
    • *Videos of past work in reference section.
  • The foundational quote in action - "I pitched a workshop idea* to Publix Greenwise. They said, "YES!" Instead of going in-depth with each chakra, I will present a monthly overview from September '21 through  May '22. (hooks, 1994, p. 8)  
    • ​*workshop idea developed in Jeff Broome's Program Development class during the Spring of 2021
• Final product in Rachel's class:
  • Develop the lesson plans and video content for one of seven workshops (Root Chakra) supporting chakra awareness, alignment, and expansion. The larger vision is to turn this single workshop into a MOOC* - Massive Open Online Content (hooks, 1994, p.5)
    • Builds upon my pilot study conducted during Dr. Sara Shield's Qualitative Research call (Spring '21).
    • Supports my current Graduate Assistant work with Dr. Amber Ward (Fall ' 21).
    • Elements will overlap with my Narrative Inquiry class taught by Dr. Jeff Broome (Fall '21).
• Leveraged with Jeff's classes:​
  • I believe in radical vulnerability. I will open each workshop with a personal story (hooks, 1994, p. 21).
  • To support this belief, I will write an autoethnography in Jeff's Narrative Inquiry class. Some content will be used in the development of the final product for Rachel's class.
