MODULE EIGHT: Celebrating and Reflecting – Creating wider circles of support and dissemination.

In doing community projects it is important that we learn how to achieve self-acknowledgement, giving and receiving individual and mutual appreciation. How do participants allow the learning and change to sink in? What is calling them now? What is coming to an end? What wants to be birthed?  How can community projects be presented to a wider audience. There needs to be space for recuperation and celebration, for mourning the group’s process that is ending, and for building new and wider networks, while inviting potential participants for the next round.
