Becoming Learning Communities

Communities move through phases, beginning with a pioneer phase, moving to an administrative or organizational phase and then finally maturing to a learning phase.  New Adult Learning Processes can support the development and stability of communities in the third phase of development.  As we all know, taking on leadership roles in a community develops wisdom, courage and forces of dedication and individualism. Each of us brings our unique talents and gifts to these positions until we meet thresholds and crises that ask for something new. How do we develop new ways of working in leadership in challenging situations?

Leadership teams that take up and learn processes they can use to meet the neverending challenges that exist in social organisms will learn to develop skills to meet the crisis with more tools in their tool box.  New Adult Learning Facilitators can offer processes that will support personal, professional, organizational and community development. Facilitators support the community to find their own solutions rather than advize.

NALA offers the New Adult Educator program as professional development within organizations for facilitating new capacities in self, family, community and organizations. 

Testimonials

“The processes went in deeply and worked on me.  I see the pattern to my trigger moments that happen over and over.  The night work becomes my teacher.  I can see myself.  I’m saying ‘yes’ to a lot more things now”.  Halton Waldorf School Heart Group Parent, Spring 2022

“As a healer, I am less interested in doing lectures and formal presentations and more in working with the New Adult Learning processes, especially in a retreat setting as I have found this to be the most “productive” way to learn and practice wellness, spiritual growth and self development in a community context.”  Fiona Hughes, June 2022  

“I would highly recommend to any mentor who has not explored this work to connect with the NAL.  You will not be the same nor will your work – and I mean this in a good way!    All will be invigorated and renewed.”  Marg Beard, NAE 2019/20   

The Trillium Waldorf School used the processes to move their school forward into a capital expansion.  

The London Waldorf School has offered the My Child Myself parent programs for ten years and with the faculty in professional development.  

The Halton Waldorf School developed a Heart Group for community members for personal and community development.
