Willing To Be Disturbed: Seeing the World in New Ways
Today’s world challenges us find new ways to see and make meaning of what we see around us, in our interpersonal relationships, our families and our communities, and in our places of work.
In this highly participative session, we will use various maps and other representations of the world to:
- explore one model of how we make meaning
- experiment with identifying underlying assumptions, beliefs, metaphors and stories that shape how we see the world and ourselves in it
- learn how to play with those stories, assumptions, etc., and determine if they continue to serve us
