So much of this is different from any workshop I've done in the past. The most profound thing is learning from others about taking small ideas, connecting with other people, creating new communities and organizations. The way this workshop started with understanding small acts in classrooms was beautiful. ~Salima It feels so profound to be here with everybody. I hope this profound feeling doesn't end. This experience reminds me what Gandhi says that it all starts with the heart, with love. ~kathrin One of the big differences with this workshop is the idea of creating this journal with a built-in opportunity to reflect, to engage in dialogues, to have time to get to know each other on a more personal level. Often in a workshop, we just run and run from topic to topic. This workshop recognizes the importance of slowing down and listening to each other to reflect so that we can carry our learnings with us. ~Simone I was expecting a more formal workshop with speakers and lectures, but this is full of creativity and open dialogues which I find very nourishing. ~Lorena |
