[Dialogue] [Oe List ...] Fwd: Question about Imaginal Education 9these days

[Joyce Bonafield via Dialogue]

Imaginal education helps people shift their operating images, including the self-image one may hold less-than-consciously of oneself.  Through inviting people to come up with new images -- one's self-image can change, operating contexts can shift, and at times, one can shed a whole world view for a new one.  Witness Ebenezer Scrooge (I just returned from A Christmas Carol, the Musical, 1/2 hour ago).    ---from a former psychotherapist, Joyce Bonafield-Pierce

 For me, imaginal education is an art.  It is the discernment of images that are blocking a person, a group, a community, or society from moving positively into the future.  Once discerned, messages are powerfully and creatively put into the learning environment through questions, stories, art forms, projects, activities,models etc to release the negative images and allow new images to emerge and thus new decisions and behaviours. 
Thank you Steve and Loren for inviting this conversation.

I would say that the goal of imaginal education is to change behavior.  Our outmoded, out of date stories of reality (images) are at the root of all our problems. Example of an outmoded story--we can have unlimited economic growth on a finite planet--the story underlying climate change, global warming, and all the associated symptoms. Randy

Imaginal Education acknowledges that images affect behavior and that images can change.  The goal of the Imaginal Educator is to change images by using a variety of teaching methods, one of which is the structured conversation model, called ORID.  The goal of Imaginal Educators trained by the ICA has been to change a victim image to an image of  one's individual power to affect one's life and the world. from Karen Bueno   -----Original Message-----
