The primary tools to support discovery include awareness of the inherent wisdom in all of us, curiosity and reverence for the each person’s unique experience, non-attachment to our personal perspective as indisputably ‘right’ or ‘correct,’ and commitment to truly hearing what is expressed by others. I appreciate how it is written in our workbook: “We think about what they need, not what we know” (3).
Offering encouragement toward deeper reflection and expressing authentic excitement in response to their moments of insight may support an atmosphere that promotes personal exploration. Based on discussion today in our class, it is important to note that the freedom for discovery also requires a container that delineates appropriate edges or boundaries for our exploration. These boundaries are based on the traditional practices which we are becoming qualified to teach. This structure allows a sense of security that forms the foundation for discovery.
