Integral Education Seminar: From Cradle to Kosmos
Date/time:
Sun-Fri, August 2-7, 2009, starts at 3pm Sunday, ends 1:30pm Friday
Integral education stands out as one of the most pertinent and practical
means of creating positive change in ourselves and the world. This seminar
will bring educators together from around the globe, educators who are
seeking the necessary vision, skills, and processes to fully serve
students. Integral education is an emerging field, propelled by people who
seek to push the envelope of what education can be. The seminar will
provide an inspiring environment to meet with colleagues and to network
with a growing community that clearly understands that addressing a more
complete spectrum of personal, cultural, and systemic realities at play in
education is one of the most powerful ways to begin effecting the changes
we hope to see in the world.
Some of the core questions we will be working with:
-How can education coherently address the whole human being, a being
of body, mind, and spirit, immersed in cultural meaning making, social
structures, and natural systems?
-How can we embody an integral perspective in all aspects of
curriculum, teaching stances, activities, and assessment?
-In a universe unfolding in increasing consciousness and complexity,
how can we work to develop current capacities and to create the conditions
for the emergence of more complex perspectives in the future?
Seminar Purpose And Content
The seminar will
* offer and apply a framework that helps us orient ourselves in any
educational setting;
* share practical experiences of working in the world as an integral
educator;
* provide an experience of integral education in the seminar itself;
* offer ample opportunities for personal and professional
self-reflection and development;
* articulate teaching perspectives and generate effective next steps
that each of us can bring home and build upon in our day-to-day work as
teachers, parents and learners;
* and most of all, explore what being an integral educator means in
practice.
