This Un/Learning Review for my Action Learning Cycle 1 is broken into sections similar to that of my OP1A, Learning Intentions and Pathway Design.
I chose to frame my plans using the Zones of Use/Interaction often seen in Permaculture with the added 5 P’s of Gaia University (modified, a bit). Recognizing that initially designing and managing myself and what is closest to me allows the rest of my visions to become a reality, I have labeled Zone 00 “Personal” and finished with Zone 6 “Planetary.” In between I will describe my un/learnings in other categories:
0. Parentage
1. Peer
2. Project
3. Professional
4 & 5. Patrix/Political
The Supporting Evidence provides journal entries; an updated résumé; certificates, published materials, newspaper clippings, websites or blogs, awards, photos, videos from the past eighteen months; skillflex assessment; complete compilation of my annotated resource review; and attendance tracking records.

Purpose
This OP is for me. Reflection is a wonderful tool to have and is, admittedly, a weak point of mine. Being the experimental, tinkering whirlwind that I am, I have little time to look back at my own growth and the experiences that have shaped my existence—or rather, I have not allowed myself the time for such an integral part of un/learning to exist within my limited Time-Energy. I used this OP as a tool to continue the un/learning and take care of myself, using reflection to heal and grow.
Overview
“My aim in designing my pathway is to clarify my vectors, trailblazing as it were. Opportunities present themselves frequently and I have unbendingly said "yes" when it pertains to assisting others. Whether I am seeking these projects or if fate and chance are toying with me is unclear. I have taken many roads at once that are now interwoven, entwined as a strong thread with which I can weave the fabric of my existence.” --from my Learning Intentions and Pathway Design
I hardly recognize the Sophie of eighteen months ago. Perhaps my physiology has changed some, but my essence has grown dramatically. I am stronger, more aware, and more self-sufficient. Meanwhile, many of my creative and artistic traits lay dormant...
Guided by a current
Adrift on a course
not set by me,
I am not the captain
Just following the sea.
I cannot accurately say what brought me to the place I am now. I suspect it was a combination of my awareness, open-mindedness, conversation with all sorts of people, and dedication to the paradisical dream of Earth and humanity in balance and union.
Whatever the forces may be that brought me here, I am grateful. There is not a single thing I would change if the chance were handed to me.
This Output Packet has landed perfectly in my Pathway--I am transitioning into an entirely new phase of my life and out of a significantly challenging--but fruitful--one. This OP serves as a lovely closure to the eighteen months of my life spent as a home-renovator, Selectwoman, community organizer, gardener, leader, designer, and student.

Design of this OP
It took me some time to decide how to configure this portfolio. I thought about using SAD(IM); the Permaculture Flower, Ethics, Principles; the 5 P's; the Cycle Review Elements page-by-page. I finally landed upon the 8 P's and the Zones of Use were incorporated to remain congruent with my LIPD.
Here are the edits for your OP:
I am stronger, more aware, <and> more self-sufficient
Meanwhile, many of my creative and artistic traits lie <or lay? you should look into which of these is correct> dormant...
sometimes you do - - and sometimes –
Under Parentage:
, I would not have achieved what I have and not had my head screwed on so tight > rephrase
I am honored to fill that roll <role>
Under OP 3:
Similarly <similar> to my first OP, my documentation didn’t start until late in the project and therefore I relied on memory.
Under OP 4:
selectwoman <Selectwoman?>
I’m not sure town should be capitalized where you have it capitalized
Under Professional:
world changer > world-changer?
Under Patrix/Political:
The term was changed to selectperson, <Selectperson>
During <the annual> Town Meeting,
it was financially unsustainable, not to mention the hours <it> prevented me from having a full time job.
