I
enjoyed the circle aspect of the class. It made a most
comfortable atmosphere for the class where people felt
open and able to share their thoughts and feelings. It
was definitely an open an inviting class.
There
is a saying, "knowledge is power". Certainly,
this is true about this class. We have shared our
feelings,
our knowledge, our thoughts and ideas. I especially like
our circle format, and holding the feather to speak.
I enjoyed
hearing the gong and hearing the readings. So far this
has been my best class at Cambridge College. This
was
terrific. Thank you everybody, thank you Greg. I am enriched.
The
Circle has no beginning or end. It is "seasonal".
The spirit within/of the circle (allows) everyone to prepare
for what is coming to participate justly and equally.
As I enter this classroom I got the impression that I
was in some form of religious ritual seeing the
setting
of the circle and the different symbols in the circle
but after the lecturer introduced himself and each
student
did like wise. I realize it was done with the kindergarten
children in order to bring them together , so that
they
are able to socialize and built that confidence in order
to speak out in discussion time with out feeling
any form
of humiliation.
The past two days have also been enriched by our class
discussions. I am grateful to be part of such a diverse
group and learning about different cultures and rituals.
I feel fortunate to hear about different countries firsthand
from my classmates who have lived there. Finally, I feel
very comfortable with our class interaction and circle
setting. When we pass the feather around it is special
to me. I feel a real connection to the group, a closeness
that is different from any class I have taken at Cambridge
College. All in all, a terrific learning experience!
I
again, am blessed to be a part of a class that brings
about such diversity and passion. Upon reflection, this
is more than a credit seeking experience. I thank
my peers
for gracing me with the opportunity to be a part of your
world.
This
class is very effective. The way in which everyone
participates
is the key to the learning model's success.The reason
why I have chosen to disclose seemingly personal parts
of my existence is to help someone else get through whatever
barriers that could be keeping them "stuck".
I have learned that the ability to share honestly
about
my experiences provides unlimited opportunity for growth.
Hope everyone has a blessed week. LOVE & RESPECT
Sunday's
class was outstanding! I love the concept of the circle
and, the "community" the circle spontaneously
creates. I thank each of you for sharing different aspects
of your biography. I would like to extend a special thank
you to those of you who shared some of your most private
and painful experiences. You made the class extraordinarily
enriching. Thank you.
As
adult learners each of us brings to the classroom an
array
of personal and professional experiences that elicit,
I believe, a more engaging, challenging learning environment.
Thank you for honoring this - through the powerful “circle”
you created.
The
circle is amazing – it lifted me up – it lifted
us all up together.
