Working on a good set of questions for the discussion following Eat, Pray, Love tomorrow night. Be thinking about these (some of which make more sense if you have seen the movie, some are not dependent):
- Do you think people are more open to new experineces when they travel? Why or why not?
- At one point at the ashram, the main character realizes she is too sociable and decides to embark on a period of silence. It is just after making this decision that she is assigned the role of ashram key hostess. What does this say about honing one’s nature rather than trying to escape it? Do you think perceived faults can be transformed into strengths rather than merely repressed?
- After struggling to master a 182-verse daily prayer, the main character succeeds by focusing on her nephew, who suddenly is free from nightmares. Cosmic unity? Coincidence? Something more?
- What did you learn from Eat, Pray, Love?
Let me know if you will be joining us for Friday night’s WOW Movie Night at 7:30 p.m. Would love to see you there!
I will be there and I am bringing sugar cookies!
