Experiential Activities for a Better World
By: Marilyn Levin with Lea Arellano
Description:
Experiential Activities for a Better World delivers the information and inspiration you need to become a catalyst for personal and global transformation. It provides insights, methods, perspectives, tools and over 100 activities for facilitators, teachers, counselors, trainers, and group leaders – anyone who would like to transform injustice and inspire hope and healing in themselves and others.
You can use the insights, tools and activities in this book to work with yourself, another person, in pairs, small groups and large groups. Many of the approaches, tools and activities in the book can be used by people with little or no experience. For people with experience, there are additional chapters of instruction and intermediate and advanced activities and handouts.
Experiential Activities for a Better World provides an explanation of the experiential learning cycle, guidance in the facilitation of the activities and topics in the book, and instructions on teaching people to respond to personal and societal challenges with confidence, compassion and power.
At last, the brilliance, creativity, and compassion of Marilyn Levin's extraordinary trainings are captured in a book. This is an incredibly rich resource, packed with dynamic activities and brilliant ideas and insights. It is a must have for facilitators!

While many activity books exist, this particular Guide offers a level of depth and innovation that is truly exceptional. Compiled based on years of experience and researching the best resources out there, Marilyn’s commitment to this work and desire to “transform” our lives is evident in the contents of this publication. The activities offer opportunities for change, enable safe risk through exploration, and provide an enjoyable way to understand differences and why they matter. This Guide is a welcome addition to the world of experiential learning and investigating the untapped power of our human potential.
