Monday and Tuesday saw Chantelle and Katie (two Australian girls volunteering with KCM) lead the team through a training activity named 'Tree of Life'.
The activity required us to draw a tree, name the various parts of it and share some of the stories behind our selection. The roots - what and who has shaped us, the ground - what grounds us now, the trunk - our strengths, the branches - our hopes and dreams, the leaves - people who are close to us and the fruit - gifts that have encouraged us along the way. It was good to reflect on these topics and consider the impact of people and circumstances on my life.
After this exercise we discussed the challenges experienced as a team at KCM and the strategies we employ to address them. From this we identified and discussed our shared values.
All in all it was probably a helpful exercise for the group, but I don't know if it actually achieved a great deal. I'm interested in seeing what we do with the outcomes from the respective sessions and where it leads us as a team.
