SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Integrating the insights of numerous contemplative traditions, phenomenology, osteopathic medicine, and evolutionary cosmology, there is a contemplative pedagogy by which people can come to know themselves more fully, and recognize and express their humanity and their connection to all living beings; and hold that space for others. This work is informed by more than a decade of work as an educator, teaching rhetoric, composition, literature, and critical (creative) thinking at many levels, from elementary school through adult learners, seeking always to create the conditions that allow students of all ages to experience and come to know their innate wisdom, and to fall in love with the process of learning.
