My Deep Reflective Piece

Krushna R Sawant

This reflective piece is an integral part of my Co-facilitation Log which I had written and submitted in
th
month of January 2022, after successfully completing my 5 Co-facilitation in SABRANG EVENT 2021,
Delhi.
I am happy to share this reflective piece of my inner process work in this edition of H&N.

Over the past few months, I have been reflecting deeply on my ISABS Journey from BLHP till date and
wanted to include this piece in my last and 5th Co-facilitation Log without which my log would be
incomplete.

In last 11years and eight months of my ISABS Journey which is on-going, what emerges for me is the shifts
that I have made within me and consequently the changes that have come over me and in my being.

From a “Me” who was an introvert, performance-anxiety driven, averse to feedback, judgemental and
not open but experiencing the need for closure in my interactions,

I have, after working gradually and consistently over the years, evolved

as a “Me” who is an extrovert and open to feedback, while performance-anxiety though still present,
works as fuel for me to achieve!

On reflection, I realised that my passion for process work with my inner self, awareness of my
vulnerability and my spirit of volunteerism--- a wonderful combination ---was instrumental in my journey.

In my pursuit of ISABS Journey and my need to work on self, after my ALHP, I started attending the monthly
Process meetings that used to take place in the Western region’s Professional Members’ residence twice
in a month. I later found other spaces to carry on the work when Labs weren’t happening for me, and
process meetings eventually stopped.

So, in my desire to learn experientially and experiment, I chose to work as a volunteer in ISABS spaces. It
started with my volunteering for GUNJAN Event in the year 2014 and since then I haven’t stopped
volunteering.

While I volunteered for all Gunjan Event since 2014, I also participated in various theme labs that were
conducted during the event and I also got concession in fees. I continued to volunteer and participate in
Gunjan Events till the very end.

Years later and in the recent past, I volunteered once again and took initiative to anchor Learning Sessions
for Western Region, at first in person and later on, in the online mode from December 2019 to December
2020.

Also, simultaneously I volunteered as Event Buddy for ISABS online Events, of which I worked for two
events and also conducted online Zoom Orientation for participants of these online events. I contributed
to ISABS Learning Management Systems (LMS), by volunteering to make a few parts of LMS content
grammatically correct and have also translated ISABS Ethics Code from English to Marathi just before
Udaan Event in 2020. Simultaneously I have also volunteered to work with Human Process Inquiry for few
months till I got busy with my Post Graduation in Urdu Literature.
