Feel free to come and share your own personal insights sometime; the Saturday Night Video and Discussions here in Austin, Texas are a lot of fun and fascinating. (They're free, too.) Here are the questions the group came up with, based on the personal growth themes in the movie:

NOMADLAND

  1. How have I felt when I've travelled alone?
  2. What are the different ways I have grieved?
  3. How have I dealt with repeated substantial losses? Or have I? If not, how do I learn to?
  4. Since I do so very poorly living in a house by myself, could I realistically live as a nomad?
  5. How do I feel about aging and the changes that go along with it?
  6. How much of the world I live in, is the world that I have created?
  7. Why isn't there a better way for our elders to live?
  8. How much do I yearn for freedom, and how does that yearning show up in my life?
  9. How has nature amazed me and connected me to something far greater than myself?
