INHABITING NATURAL LEARNING

This experiential workshop explores the roots of learning from an evolutionary and developmental perspective. The goal is to give insight into the pervasive networks linking the creativity of natural leaning with embodied movement, emotion, non-verbal languaging, artistic intelligence, and human relationship with Nature. The purpose is to give tools to balance the impersonal and disembodying effects of hyper technological and bureaucratic culture, with the deeply human and therefore deeply ecological strata of intelligence that can inform our daily social and cultural lifeways.

To achieve these ends we will follow an experiential pathway embodying the movement/sound fundamentals of all human developmental process, beginning in utero, to early infant mother communication, to creative process, and the counterparts of that found in human evolutionary relationship in Nature. From there we explore the artistic process as fundamental to all learning processes. The workshop culminates in an opportunity to design a group movement piece in embodied exploration of these natural processes and of our human relationship with Nature. We consider implications for social and educational values, structures, and practices. ©10/2016
