Bringing workshops and facilitation into your daily life.
Workshops and the facilitators who appear in them are somewhat extraordinary.
Perhaps it is good that they are unusual, but since I am going through the trouble, I would like to incorporate them into my daily life. That’s all I’ve been thinking about lately.
A life with workshops and facilitation.
In my daily life.
At work and outside of work.
At home and in the community, of course.
For example, with neighborhood children I happen to run into.
With materials that happen to be there. Leaves, insects, empty cans, garbage.
Three minutes. Or maybe even 1 minute or 30 seconds.
You don’t even have to create anything.
(This may sound like a workshop, facilitation, or anything else.
I’m thinking of something that can be done on the spot, at a moment’s notice.
I am thinking of something like that, but the most difficult place to do it is at home.
I wish I could do it with parents and children.
It seems that the days of trial and error and challenge are still ahead of us.
