Sage Doll-making Workshop
Insights and Overview
A building or community having diversity policies does not necessarily build acceptance or tolerance for differences.
Even when a mission and organization’s culture is built on wanting differences to be valued and respected, lack of understanding and respect for each individual can make eliminating intolerance, scapegoating and lack of acceptance for differences a challenge.
In We Are All The Same Inside, there is a mind-shift from “blue-to-you,” as participants and / or students meet a neutral and highly likable blue-colored Sage character, who is an alien from space with all the same internal organs as a human-being, and see Sage turn into a personalized doll / puppet, or avatar, of their own creation with an outer skin they individually design on their own.
This program subtly brings the message about reasons our differences on the outside do not separate us in the most important of all ways, who and what we are inside.
Timothy Bellavia has packaged his program so that it can be delivered with the highlight of his personal visit or delivered in a box in a turn-key program by mail if that better suits a location or budget.
Nothing is quite as special as Timmy’s presence in the room telling about creating Sage, and bringing his energy to students and adults alike. Additionally, qualified master teachers are available when he is not, and Professor Bellavia is expanding the use of video and on-line conference exchanges so that he and students can still share what they have all created after long-distance implementations of We Are All The Same Inside.
