~ MII Members presenting a mediation case for discussion as part of their requirements for Advanced Member status
~ Each member of the group sharing mediation case experience to enable discussion and learning
~ Members or Advanced Members raising questions about their practice and areas of interest
~ Sharing information and learning through review of books, seminars and training events
Each Reflective Practice and Learning group should:
