About Milo's Workshop:

Hello, everyone!

My name is Milo, and I lead a Mickey House sponsored workshop on Critical Thinking and Enhanced Observation techniques.

To explain the approach we use in this workshop, let me ask you a question:

Have you ever re-read a book, months or years after your first reading, and, in that process, suddenly noticed something (an event, a character, a story element) that seems completely new to you, that you don't remember from the first reading? And it is something significant, something you don't think you would have missed or forgotten? Yet the story hasn't changed in the interim, nothing has been added or taken away from that story.That element was always there!

Same thing in your everyday life?

The purpose of this workshop is to wake up our perceptive facilities (Active Observation) and our processing facilities (Critical Thinking), and the way we do that is 

1. Each week I assign a movie (Old, new, various genres), by posting its Wikipedia listing and a streaming link for that movie on the Milo's Workshop blog post for that week.
2. The participants watch the movie before coming to class (Sunday's, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm)
3. We discuss our discoveries (and questions) in class.

Come join us! See you soon!
