Time has flown rapidly, bringing the pleasurable, busy and inimitable residency to a close.  For fellows it is also a beginning of an exciting journey as vital agents of personal development in their respective communities.  Having ended the previous week with successful workshops at Ulwazi CreACTive Centre, the fellows kick started this week with the reflection process.  Although Reflection was a continuous part of their daily routine throughout, Monday incorporated a longer pause. The gentle, yet vigorous rhythm of self- discovery solidified the process as Monday’s outcomes elicited dialogue, leading to a clear map of individual destination that were characteristically informed by individual passion and dynamics. Throughout the interactive activities, memorable bonds were formed, laughter and tears exchanged, which through individual lenses were captured and transferred to collaborative products of beauty and meaning.  Underpinned by the ideas of ‘bag’, ‘container’, ‘gift’ and the metaphorical wealth of imbuing significance in the ordinary as thematic approaches, these products manifested in literal, visual and even cuisine form!           Expectancy, certainty and shared feeling of privilege resonated as each fellow voiced not only their endless gratitude, but the impatience to implement their visions, thus to transfer the skills learned and processes gleaned during the residency. Witty Nyide
