Meaning making through reflective practice – A group facilitators’ lived experience

This paper seeks to illuminate, un/tangle and embody the experience of a social worker facilitating learning circles for community services workers. The author takes an autoethnographic approach to this journey. Context (upright font), and practice narrative writing, (in italics font throughout), is interwoven to explore the lived experience of facilitation and provide insights on the decolonial application of leading reflective practice groups. The piece seeks to submerge the reader in the sea of awareness and the dance of co-creation which occurs through the enactment of reflective practice in a group setting.
