What do you most look forward to during the French Polynesia program?
I am looking forward to witnessing the impact of this program to the group. I am looking forward to learning more about the permaculture techniques.
What has been the most meaningful idea/fact you have discovered or learned about this program so far?
The “permaculture,” I didn’t know anything about this term and what it entails until I travelled there. In addition, this being my second program I am leading, I discovered that each group composition has its own inner dynamics. I am liking it.
At this point in your life, what is important/meaningful to you?At this point in my life, I realized that the most important thing is being open to and embracing a continuous-learning philosophy through all the activities I do (teaching, traveling, practicing sports, etc.) even though it may look like I have been doing this for years.
