Hello All:  The Oakland Adult and Career Education (OACE) ESL Program is in urgent need of a facilitator who could present a guided, mindful activity for a retreat the ESL Program is having in beautiful Tamales Bay on the Pacific Ocean.  This retreat will beheld at the Marconi Center, which is run by the National Park Service.  It will be held on Friday evening Februaruy 23 and Saturday, February 24th.  The Professional Development, Program Planning Committee has decided on "Look In, Listen and Learn:  Teach with Reflection" as a theme for the retreat.  The "Look In" segment would be a mindful activity focusing the individual's attention on their unique learning style (to be used interchangeably with multiple intelleigence); this introduction to reflection sets the tone for the retreat and will be presented on Friday evening (7 p.m. to 10 p.m.).  Would it be possible to put out a call on your list for someone to facilitate an activity such as this?  We ask that
 respondants include their fee for service schedule with their response.   
   
  We are also interested in any suggestions for a mindful activity that we as a staff could present to our PD group.  For example, is there an activity that could be used to guide individuals to look inside and access their unique learning style/intllegence?  We anticipate this will not be a paper and pencil activity, but an "eyes closed" (if you wish) experience that could possibly be followed by a written exercise or sharing with a partner or group.  We are more interested in the experience than in recording the experience.
   
  Thanks for your consideration in this matter.
