Our graduate cohort started doing collaborative action research projects based on Dewey's principles, but half of us want to stick rigorously to Kolb's experiential learning cycle while the other half thinks that's too constraining for genuine inquiry. We have a major presentation next month and can't even agree on our theoretical framework, plus there's growing tension about who's being 'too academic' versus 'too loose' with the methodology.
More people experience this than they realize.
A learning community is fracturing over competing interpretations of how experiential learning should actually be practiced in their shared work.

Peri can explain why this happens, help you decide if this is the right situation for you, and point toward the right journey or coach.
