Why I love experiential teaching and learning...

"Deep understanding can only be achieved by going oneself through the journey of discovery and invention. Someone else's story of the journey will always be a pale imitation of the experience."

This is why all my workshops will be based on experiential exercises, and why I specialize in creating and managing rites of passage. There is no substitute for direct experience.
