| The Medicine Wheel |
On October 9, 2013,
Jan Sherman led a training session for Action Read volunteers called ‘Journeying
Around the Medicine Wheel’. In this workshop, we learned Aboriginal ways to
enhance understanding of what approaching learning as a spirit, a heart, a
body, and a mind means. We also increased our appreciation of learning not just
as a solitary process, but one based on relationships. Jan explained what ‘walking your truth’ meant
to her, and offered participants opportunities for self-reflection in order to begin
to understand themselves at a deeper level. Participants were able to recognize
that they all had important medicines (abilities, skills, gifts) that could be
used in the tutoring session and for the greater good of all. Not only was the training inspirational, it
was also practical, with lots of good discussion, tips and hands-on experiences
to support the learning. Migwetch Jan.
