Holiday on the Road! Highlights

-
I am finally back in Lagos after a 14-day road trip across Southern and Eastern Nigeria. Among other things, the highlights of my trip are:
  • watching my perfect sun set in Nigeria and getting in on camera!
  • hit by a chimp in what he thought was a throw-catch game (luckily for me it was squishy coco-yam and not a stone!)
  • waking up in the middle of lush green forest on christmas day
  • finally getting to eat whole roasted fish like the one I scrumptiously enjoyed in Abuja when I first arrived in Nigeria
  • drinking fresh palm wine (like our toddy in Kerala)
  • watching a Nigerian hip hop artist-Tuface-live in concert
  • staying with lovely host families who showered us with their warmth, food and protective care
  • an excellent view of the entire Calabar christmas carnival (called Africa's biggest street party!)
  • eating a three-course buffet dinner at a top hotel for FREE
  • managing to squeeze in work with two GIVE member organizations

2020 flashback - how I took care of my whole self!

  (this is a version of the Medicine Wheel Tool created by Birgitt and Ward Williams that is adapted from the Medicine Wheel created by the  indigenous peoples around the world from the beginning of recorded time) It was April 2013, with curiousity and openness I walked into  Vibha 's training. The seats were arranged in a circle, there were stones in a bowl in the centre, there was posters on the wall, there was natural light streaming through the big glass windows...the whole space had such a warm, calming and inviting feeling you would have thought you have walked into a spa:) Yet this was a three day training on " whole person process facilitation ". One of the first worksheets we had to reflect on was - how do you as a facilitator take care of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually?  This question got me thinking for the first time about my " whole being".  I was fascinated that this was at the core of effective and authentic facilitati...

The first Gathering Genie Circle

Gathering Genies across spaces met on 27th July at the first Gathering Genie Circle to pause, notice & learn together! We began with a reflection exercise with Genuine Contact™ transfer in cards - relating the card to what we are noticing in gatherings - reflections included sun, sky, joy, collective, authenticity, allowing, wonder, health, humour, vision....aspects that sometimes we miss to experience in work related gatherings.... We then went into a story circle of our recent experiences in hosting gatherings. It was amazing to listen to a variety of gatherings including a quarterly team review, meetings with government, meetings with the community, workshop on education.... stories instead of ppts, starting playfully, vision alignment, sharing life journies, user experience, appreciation all helped to build connection, empathy & deeper learning. We then in smaller groups reflected on our hopes & fears of hosting gatherings... it was again very interesting to see as...

FAQ Flashback - 15 travellers, 4 sailors, one facilitation quest!

I have always drawn immense energy every time I connect with young people around facilitation - the way their bodies shift from a state of formality to ease, the way their questions and sharing deepens with every activity, the way the silence holds the space for their feelings and thoughts to take shape, the way their eyes open wide with wonder at what all is possible when a space is held in a life nurturing way …..This began with the course I taught in Jamia Milia’s Development Communications Department and in the past couple of years the energetic bunch at India Fellows has been a wonderful community to work with. India Fellows go on a 13-month long journey of discovering their own leadership potential. It includes training, mentor-ship, reflections and hands-on work experience with a grassroots organisation working on social issues.   Every year, a few people write back, some immediately, some after a few months (and even years) at how deeply they experienced the space and were...
