Replying to LO25713 --
Dear Peggy and all
I appreciated Peggy's clear pen-portrait of what would be happening in her
LO, it sounds an enjoyable place to work.
Sometimes you can add even more insight by a) drawing a picture of what
you see, "stick people" are fine b) describing the picture in detail to
someone else who is "there" and listening. That person can ask questions
about the detail and the connections between the parts of the picture and
about how you feel "in it" and where you are in the picture. You can stand
back and ask yourself, "what is the process that is going on in the
picture (your representation of your dream)" Then boil it down to a vivid
phrase in the form "verb/noun" like (say) "connecting thoughtfully). With
support you can get an exciting phrase you remember for ever.
I give below two links to short pieces about the above.

and successfully in an appreciative inquiry that helped and empowered
villagers in Nepal.
