<div dir="ltr">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. <div><br></div><div>Thank you Steve and Loren for inviting this conversation. </div><div><br></div><div>Jeanette </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 7, 2014 at 10:22 AM, Randy Williams via Dialogue <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net" target="_blank">dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>I would say that the goal of imaginal education is to change behavior.

<div><font style="background-color:transparent">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.</font></div>
