Dunford House
..... a beautiful setting - more than a Conference Centre ....... it is a safe space - escape from the urban and work to .........
....... re-create.
Back home now.
Two days with a bunch of beautiful humans and I feel the better for it.
The theme was 'Learning' and here I am, employed as a Training and Learning Consultant' doing my stuff.
My modules were about 'Informal Education'.
That is my scene anyway but I had to prepare well - introducing the contrast between the 'formal education' and the 'informal'.
One question I posed, and you may wish to answer this yourself - for interest, was::
What was the peak of your formal learning and what was the peak of your informal learning - noting that the latter it could be a time of vulnerability and even pain.
We learn so much from the informal - life itself is there - in that place.
It is good to reflect on this.
One other large module was an experiential exercise which involved all.
It was electric.
It was dynamic.
It was soul churning.
It was education SO informal that I could have wept.
It was a great place to be.
A community for two days and a parting to get back to reality - all the better for it.
Tomorrow Joan and me take two days to go and stay at Joy's home, the first time for us in her new home. She is prepping in Manchester and then going off to work in Venice ............ what a great place to be.
One of my special places on earth.
Saturday it is a Greenbelt Trustee Day and then .................. life ahead to look forward to ......
Hope you are feeling ok?
'I'm ok - you're ok' is the healthy state.
Hope you can feel ok about ourself and others around you.
Humans, you will note, who are Imperfection ...............
And we can all put our hand up to that one ..........
