Enabling SEED Circles
Share Explore Experience Decide
ICfE invites you to its inaugural Enabling SEED Circle. SEED describes the approach of this Program: to Share, Explore, Experience and Decide. The Enabling SEED Circle Program will over the coming months workshop different topics of significance to enable you to seed changes for a better life. Dr Diann Rodgers-Healey will facilitate the session through deep discussion and experiential learning as well as a Q&A between participants and invited guests about their personal experiences and insights on the topic. Numbers are limited as the aim is to have ample time for participants to be heard and given time to apply their learning. I hope you can come to a SEED Circle to share your experiences and wisdom, learn and be inspired in a relaxing and meaningful atmosphere.

Embracing the high art of Listening
