Transformative Education

"How do you catch a beautiful bird without killing it? By becoming the sky."

- Antero Alli

In a human culture so deeply mediated by a complex wealth of socio:cultural streams, it can be easy to forget that the most important filter through which we see the world is ourselves. From our concept of who we are and what that means, to the complex dynamics of our body chemistry, to the deep inner song of our souls, life experiences life in relationship to the very fabric of its own being. As the personal and planetary body transforms, so do the choices that weave the collective story of life on earth - reality is mediated by experience. In this light, educational visionaries of all walks of life are learning to draw the rich nectar of life's most poignant teachings by alligning their fundamental frames of reference with a deeper inner knowing. By letting go of what we believe, we are becoming the truth we have sought all along.

The simple choice to shed the skin of our current forms and become something new is enough to open us to the endless and beautiful journey of transformative learning. Through each new set of eyes, we learn to see a whole new universe of potential. With each new heart, we learn to express our love with new abundance and power. With each new body, we learn to relate with new levels of sensory intelligence. What remains constant through our deepening transformations is identified with growing sophistication and accuracy, leading us to re:wire the technology of our very consciousness. As each identity gives way to the next, we come to know ourselves as we truly, always are. In this wisdom we are empowered to co:create a human world that lives up to the true, miraculous splendour of our human nature as one with Gaia.
