Reflection

How many of us reflect? Better question maybe, how many of know how to reflect?

"The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living”
-Socrates

Reflecting is a life skill - one that is learned though reflection. An individual finds the real meaning of an experience through reflecting. I believe many of us do not understand or poses the skill of reflecting. We live hurried lives, and do not take the time to slow down, and simply reflect on what has happened. Further more, we miss the opportunity to sit still, an simply "examine our lives."

As an experiential educator, reflection is an critical component in what we facilitate. Without it, the experience it self is simply an experience. Reflecting and Processing, allows participants to explore the meaning of the experience and draw from it meaning that can be transferred into everyday life.
