Produktbeschreibung
Inciting Reflection is a collection of some of the more than 500 essays shared by the author as weekly commentary for a National Public Radio affiliate for over eleven years. With categories like "Exercising Our Love Muscles," "Deciphering Life's Puzzles," "On God and Godlings," and "Pressing On When the Pressure's On," this collection of Rob Simon's musings focuses on inviting readers and listeners to think or reflect - perhaps about new things, but definitely in their own way. With an easy-going conversational and accessible verbal style, the author does not proselytize, and his intention is not necessarily to cultivate agreement. Instead, the goal is to invite observation, consideration, and dialogue, to ask thoughtful questions, and to make debate comfortable for those who may see the world differently. As an added feature, the collection also includes original poetry, and a fair amount of humor and storytelling. Makes for a great coffee table item, easy bedside reading, a useful classroom tool for educators, and more.

In a variety of ways, Rob has consistently worked to promote personal and community empowerment throughout his long career. He has applied his skills and insights with school systems, congregations and various other agencies and organizations - much of it through his own POSITIVE RHYTHM PRODUCTIONS. In addition to a number of other creative enterprises, Rob is currently working as a Restorative Practices Consultant and Advocate for the Wichita Public Schools, based at West High School. In this environment, he and partnering consultant, Jan Fox-Petersen, work with others in a real-world laboratory that allows them to be innovative in promoting universal empowerment strategies based on the Restorative Practices (a.k.a. "restorative justice in education") paradigm. At West High, and from their Center for Restorative Community (CRC), Rob and Jan produce and network to deliver group facilitation, mediations, and workshops; provide classroom, assembly, and other creative presentations; work with students, school staffs, families, businesses, and community groups; and present for trainings, conferences and conventions. Rob also directs music for contemporary worship at College Hill United Methodist Church, provides lead and background vocals and percussion for local band, Blue Eyed Soul, and works as a teaching artist with Arts Partners. He is also a professional storyteller with the Wichita Griots for whom he has written, co-produced and directed fourteen (14) original stage productions Rob has long considered his work the pursuit of a personal mission, which he says is to "ignite within all of us . . . the desire and the power to be the best we can be, and to live a fruitful life."
