I am unwinding after a looong day.
I spent most of the day in an a.com seminar on ‘Process Facilitation’. As I will be taking the ethics and values course this year it was a bit of prep and training. Some times I find myself attending these things grudgingly, but I was actually looking forward to this one both for the learning and to hang out with some quality people from diverse backgrounds. It was a valuable experience learning how to better facilitate healthy learning processes. And it affirmed some of the journey we have been on with Forge in terms of shaping our own learning environment.
From there I hurried home, had a quick dinner, played with the kids and then headed back out again for a Brighton leaders meeting. I’ve just got off the treadmill after a 4 km run (its ok I have had a shower) and now I need some time to chill before hitting the sack. I find blogging is good for just letting my hair down and reflecting on the day.
At the start of the day one of the exercises we were asked to do was choose a picture from a wide range that appealed to us and had some resonance. I chose one very similar to the one above. A mass of tracks converging, crossing, looking like a complete mess but somehow working. It kind of sums up my life at the moment…
