To conclude the introductory module started by “Appreciative Discernment,” participants were presented the process of \u201cFallen Upward\u201d of Richard Rohr by our facilitator James Shimbala, sma. It is a process which sees us stronger in intents after falls. This process of self awareness is not about removing or solving the problems rather, it is about moving on with the problems as strengths. Rohr, in his presentation, likened the first phase of our human life to a container. In this container, we have all we think we need and to be human and better in relationships. The container is made of: our ego, our identity, our behaviours which are possible responses to threat of life according to our personal worldview. These responses, we acquired from our immediate environments as information. However, our journey to greatness requires that we develop contents for that container, which can happen by our falling upwards, being open to the world around us and therefore, see things differently and from an integrated perspective. (\u201cFallen Upward \u201c is authored by Richard Rohr and has 14 chapters).<\/span><\/p>\n

The objective of this process, from the presentation, is to encourage a positive transitioning in life’s journeys. \u201cTransition\u201d is a movement in life journey, from one phase to another. In life, there are folds of experiences. Some maybe positive while some negative. However, observations of journey of growth had shown that in most cases, we tend to get stuck in the negative experiences. Getting stuck in the negatives may not be considered as growth in the intent of being created for greatness. In transition, there are some major movements like:\u00a0<\/span>Denial;\u00a0<\/span>Shock;\u00a0<\/span>Anger;\u00a0<\/span>Bargaining;\u00a0<\/span>Depression;\u00a0<\/span>Disorientation;\u00a0<\/span>Acceptance<\/span><\/p>\n

The achievement with this process, in the journey of growth, is to reach acceptance which is the fruit of positive transition. Some of the factors that may prompt us to express any of these \u2018movements\u2019 mentioned already are (to mention a few): <\/span>Birth; Weaned;\u00a0<\/span>Leaving home;\u00a0<\/span>Mid-life;\u00a0<\/span>Transfer\/Promotion;\u00a0<\/span>Disability;\u00a0<\/span>Accident;\u00a0<\/span>Death<\/span><\/p>\n
