The creative learning community

You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star

Title quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Place It is essential that the team meet in a pleasant place where all are able to feel they are within the group and can have eye contact.
Linking The members of the team need to link together by sharing their stories, giving a little of their personal experiences, their likes, dislikes.
Time the most precious thing we have in our world to day is Time. A good team will find quality time to devote to their tasks.
Share The ability to share ideas will develop once the previous three pre-requisites are in place.
Valued We feel valued when we are genuinely listened to, when we can actually say what we think, what we feel and have others understand, listen and respond.
Talents & Gifts These are unlocked when all the above conditions have been met. This is when the real creativity of the group can come into being. Everyone has unique talents and it is when they can be fully expressed and developed in a team that it becomes bigger than the individuals. Talents & Gifts.
Extraordinary now we have extraordinary achievements emerging from the group. This is when people say “How was it done, they are just a bunch of ordinary people?” the power of a vital team generates the spirit among them. It’s true “Where two or three are gathered in my name ( in the name of beliefs, ideology and vision) there am I (The Divine) in the midst of them. The experience of WAVE is truly a moment of miricales "As human beings, we call the highest things we can look up to the "Divine", and we must imagine that our highest aim and calling have something to do with this Divine element"

Rudolf Steiner

Affirmation The individuals within the group are given great courage and strength to set out on their personal journey of discovery and Creativity within the context of their whole life not just at school or work.
