Ingredients for Powerful Change
Direct experience, intuition, intrinsic motivation, creative play, and calm, expansive awareness—these essential yet subtle ingredients infuse Flow Learning with power. Because they are committing their whole being energetically to the class topic, Flow Learning participants can experience greater purpose, focus, openness, and depth of understanding: all ingredients essential for true learning. Watch Joseph talk about play as an essential part of the nature experience.
New Vistas of Learning
To change matter from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas, requires energy; without energy, nothing will ever change or move. Energy is also required to move a classroom of students. By awakening their whole being, Flow Learning and the playful Sharing Nature activities generate in students a strong flow of intense interest in the subject. Because the full cooperation of their will is engaged, students are able to experience new vistas of learning.
The Art of Flow Learning
Education is often fact driven—and cares little whether students are interested in those facts. A student's greatest assets are enthusiasm, curiosity, and a sense of wonder. If we stultify these qualities, we destroy that part in ourselves that reaches out and embraces life.
