In a tertulia all share so, it’s not the common scene in which the children show the drawings they’ve made and the parents have nothing to share, except some comments, praise and encouragements.

Each one decides what it is (s)he wants to share and in what form. There is no reason or urgency to sit together, just the desire to meet and share. In a tertulia there is not a common theme, topic or issue. Speak for yourself – and leave room for the others to do so too. No arguments, strong opinions or proposals that all have to agree on. In a tertulia you come together because you want to share just that. Here is how to do that: start a ‘tertulia’! Let’s give it some extra air and space to move. So, it’s time to loosen the yoke and freshen up the conversation. At home, conversations tend to reproduce themselves: the same topics, the same roles played, the same arguments only minor details vary.
