My Favorite Things takes its name from the beloved Sound of Music song — and its spirit. This workshop invites participants to bring one object of personal significance and share the story behind it.

Objects may include — but are not limited to — a piece of jewelry, a photograph, a recipe, a tool, a letter, a toy, an article of clothing, a religious item, a book, a trophy, a coin, a key, a plant, a kitchen utensil, a sports memento, a ticket stub, or a map.

Each participant presents their object to the group, guided by a series of reflective questions: Where did the object come from? Where is it kept in the home? Has the participant's relationship to it shifted over time? What does it reveal about who they are today? And what do they envision for its future?

No advance preparation is required. Participants need only bring an object that holds meaning for them.
