In this episode, Beth and facilitator Romy Alexandra explore the topic of experiential learning. But they don't just talk about experiential learning, they actually do it! Romy and Beth each facilitate the other through several sense-based activities, then reflect on the experience. No matter where you are when you listen to this episode, you're invited to fully engage in this "experiment" in experiential learning.

Special notes:

• Beth realized as she was playing a song during recording that she would break copyright if she aired the episode that way. So you'll hear a substitute song and an explanatory voiceover from Beth in that section. If you would like to hear the actual song Beth played for Romy, listen to Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard via the link below.
• If you would like to share back with Romy and Beth a reflection or next step after your engagement with this episode, you are invited to make a comment on the Episode 13 post at facilitatingonpurpose.com.
