Chivalry Reborn — Inside the Learning Module
Merlin taught Arthur the art of chivalry—to create an alliance with himself by becoming a powerful, self-reliant, confident and loving leader. Arthur demonstrated his chivalry by drawing Excalibur from the stone. Exactly how he did it will always remain a mystery, but in the exploration of that mystery you can discover what it means to be a Knight of Chivalry.
Let your imagination soar as you fly dragons, and serve as courier to the king. On the battlefield, Merlin and Arthur will introduce you to the Knights. And as their special guest, each of the Knights will take you on an imaginative journey into his domain where he will demonstrate the quality that stands out in them. You will learn to recognize and strengthen these qualities in yourself and in your world. These qualities can change and shape your life.
