Doing...



I've been thinking this week about processes and how we engage with them interactively. Rather than being passive to what's around us, what we do, how we do it, I've been observing how we can actively engage in our learning. 

The cycle above is an easy reminder and it's the ' -' and ' ... ' that I find most interesting. The spaces between the 'things' is where I believe the most juicy learning takes place. In improvisation this is 'the gap'; the moments between clear reference points where you are a little suspended, not knowing...the momentary pause between breaths.

The process of learning is interactive and connected and moves through fluid on-going cycles. So learning for me is the flow to be in, rather than the 'thing' to do, to achieve. 

As you start each module of the programme take some time to notice and think about where you are in the flow of your learning. Notice the 'gaps'. Start to observe the rhythms of your daily life, work, practice, study, home, and how they connect through you. 

How do you make connections in your practice, beyond your practice?
What is the map of your practice, the network, how do you move through it?
