Miniature Metaphors
new from Jennifer
Stanchfield
This
is a must have resource for people who work with individuals and
groups. Jen created this tool after requests from facilitator’s
looking for a “pocket sized” facilitation and processing tool that
would be easy to carry into the field. It has become a favorite of
teachers, challenge course practitioners, corporate trainers, camp
leaders, therapeutic recreation specialists and outdoor educators on
the go.
People of all ages are intrigued by the small figurative charms.
Participants are drawn in by the miniature figures, objects,
symbols, and animals which invite discussion and reflection.
Miniature Metaphors can be used in a variety of ways from individual
reflection, to group processing. They can be used for engaging
conversation and reflection around goal-setting, debriefing,
resolving conflict and celebrating the individual strengths and
positive attributes of group members. Use your creativity the
possibilities are endless.
This unique assortment of miniature objects are packaged in an
attractive and durable tin. The tins come adorned with pewter
designs of either a dragonfly, spiral or heart in hand design.
Package includes decorative tin, 30 miniature charms, carrying bag
and suggestions for use.
The use of objects as metaphor can enhance reflection and dialogue.
Participants can attach their thoughts to a tangible object that can
be touched and shown to a group. Because the participants can talk
about the object or image rather than about themselves directly,
they sometimes express thoughts that would otherwise be left unsaid.
Often the thoughts ideas and connections inspired by the objects
lead to broader and deeper reflection sessions than when using
dialogue alone.
