Conference notes: transitions

Jennifer Garvey-Berger on change / transitions
  • Rilke quote - cf transformative learning 
  • linear change - "how our brains understand change" - thats why we find change hard, don't like it... cf visual-spatial: non-linear, not same issues with change
  • spontaneous orders instead of linear progressions  (eg curriculum)  
  • ball in trough diagram - change by evolution (go over) or revolution (through)?
  • fear of loss - what is it that you fear to lose?
  • what will become of it when you change? 
  • The neutral zone - have let go of one reality but not yet embraced the next
  • [??being PRESENT (Senge)  is the key to the neutral zone?? / ??Theory U??]
  •  new beginnings are like babies - need nurturing
  • will falter sometimes, don't  start fully formed
