What is Reflective Practice?

And what's the point of this blog? I know, I've got a lot of blogs. This particular one will be following my (attempted)involvement into the conflict resolution/analysis/transformation/peacebuilding field. This is no easy task, simply because it's not an easy field.

I'm taking a class right now called "Reflective Practice" where they encourage us to evaluate and, well, reflect upon both ourselves and our techniques as a peacemaker. They are encouraging us to keep a journal of our transformation. I figured, since I usually get blank stares whenever I tell people that I'm studying conflict resolution, this might be a good way to both get the word out there and at the same time motivate myself to actively reflect on my practice.

Enjoy!
