Spet 25th PM discussion

A good supportive discussion this evening, mainly between those on Module One and those on Module three of the programme... no Module Two voices this time...

It was good to get going with some questioning that opened up the field of the discussion and the possibility for many voices and perspectives rather than the question (seeking answer) approach we tended to begin with. 

With areas of Creativity, Diversity, Culture, Gender and Ethics all raised as areas of peoples current practice-research-wonder in the space of a one-hour discussion we acknowledged the enormity of these areas and looked at routes into, processeses of considerations, making connections that are pivotal for all areas of research. 

There were some great techniques and strategies shared through the discussion which was great in developing a supportive community through these calls. 

Sophie suggested some preparatory focus on mindful-ness in order to have space to see, think, feel where you are and Amy spoke about trust. Trust in your practice and trusting that you are in a process of learning (in practice and study) is vital. Andrew suggested ways of coming back to where you began, looking back over notes, past blogs, reminding yourself of the journey you've taken so far on the BAPP being helpful to situate where you are right now...this is very much the process of the mapping in the first module also. 

Thoughts were shared around approaches to mapping, translating ideas from literature, from others, and across discipline and acknowledging the lenses we use to relate things around us. 

It will be great to read more and continue these conversations through your blogs, draw things visually too if that's helpful to you in visually mapping thoughts... Do comment here with your blog post in relation to theis discussion group for others...
