I believe you have told me that you have structured and led such learning journeys, in the past with clients, no ? The concept will never become jaded, I don't think. We use phrases like "think outside the box", all have the sense of being "re-created" when going on vacation or "playing" outside our usual structures. The French even have a word (one of their words for "vacation") that speaks nicely to the concept .. <i>"se depayser"</i> which in literal translation means <i>"to de-country yourself"</i>, or in more colloquial terms <i>"take yourself out of your usual daily context and structures".</i> Go see the world, young man .. you will neverbe the same, nor will the people, ideas and activities with which you engage.
