Description

In this intermediate-level lesson, the students will reflect on the year 2025 through the wabi-sabi philosophy of appreciating imperfection and change. They will examine how their New Year’s resolutions went, how they grew in areas like self-image, aging, career development, and relationships, and how they handled life’s unfinished or imperfect moments. The goal is to help students speak honestly about personal growth, accept imperfections, and communicate reflections with clarity and emotional awareness.
