Becoming More Authentic: The Positive Side of Existentialism

So many people signed up

As of today there are 166 people interested in Becoming More Authentic.
This is far too many for any class, of course.
So we need to do some creative thinking.
There used to be an e-mail function,
which permitted EXCO facilitators to write to all interested persons.
This could have been a way of discovering the depth of commitment.
If 10% are serious enough to show up for a class,
then it will work.
But if 20% appear, we will have too many.

Please send suggestions.

Yours,
James Park, EXCO facilitator

Becoming More Authentic:
The Positive Side of Existentialism
has now gathered the largest number of interested persons
ever recorded for any EXCO class.
Each month about 2 people add themselves to the list of people interested.

Keep suggesting this class to others who might be interested.

The next offering might be as soon as Spring 2011 or Summer 2011.
But at least by Fall 2011 we should have enough to make a good group.

I am thinking of offering it just before my class on love,
since there are deep connections between these dimensions of personal growth.
See if you might also be interested in that EXCO class:
New Ways of Loving: How Authenticity Transforms Relationships.

It Takes 100 Interested People to Make a Class

parkx032 — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 16:36:17 +0000

The first EXCO class on Becoming More Authentic
met in September and October 2009.
It required one year to gather enough
interested persons to make a good discussion.
Thus it might require another year
and another 100 people to make the second seminar.

But if there is a sudden jump in the number of people
looking at this course description,
we could reach 200 before fall 2010.

About 15% of the interested people
actually appear at the time and place announced.

If you know of any ready-made group
that would like to sponsor or host this seminar
---or some modification of it---
send an e-mail to the facilitator.
Suggestions for locations are also welcome.

Another alternative has been added to the course description:

an on-line discussion group using the same book.

Yours,
James Park, EXCO facilitator
