We will discuss the following in small groups:
In what ways is The Awakening a psychological journey of the chaotic eruptions which tend to follow years of repression/oppression?
In what ways is this a text in travail, a spiritual story of a soul's messy and tragic search for its path to wholeness?
2) Have a whole group discussion (If I'm feeling up to it)
