In a new exercise for this year, I will be sharing my session notes. These are the moments when I have thoughts about my own practice which are intertwined with the dialogue and other members works. Sometimes they will make sense, many times they probably won't. It allows me to store those moments that feel so urgent at the time and need to be preserved for the times when 'the desert is a little dry' or 'the fog is a little dense'.Session outline (from google calendar):Introduction to MA 2 - KF (CW between 17:00 - 18:30)DescriptionSummary of Unit: Testing Your Boundaries, Intersections and Articulations, Risks, Failures and Learning NB Exploratory Project, the exploration continues Introduction, including information on continual reflection and evaluation in journals and active contribution in group sessions Share summer experience in small groups.
