The view into the lake is a view into ourselves. Experiential education is always connected to experiencing. However, it is only when one perceives the experience as such and experiences it within themselves that experiential education works. But how do I get there? How does the gaze into the self occur? This manual deals with this important component of experiential educational work: reflection. The experienced experiential educator and trainer Mart Rutkowski explains clearly and understandably what reflection is and how it can take place within the framework of experiential education. He addresses not only experts but primarily aims to introduce beginners to the topic. Using many funny and useful anecdotes from everyday life as an experiential educator, he vividly describes the theoretical side of reflection, from the right choice of reflection method to creating the appropriate atmosphere.
