There is love on these pages, love for nature, the cosmos, the
body's deep knowing and students. Learning in Nature focuses on the
lives of 6 drama students who gathered weekly at a community arts
center during their childhood and adolescence. Before each play
rehearsal the students explored contemplative practices such as
meditation, yoga, breathing and visualization. After these warm-up
sessions the rehearsals were dynamic and highly creative. So, what
might happen if these students went out into nature and
experimented with the same practices? What would happen, over a
year long period, if they stopped the noise of life and just
listened, deeply, just looked and inhaled, phenomenologically?
Returning the experience of learning to nature, the book tells the
story of this group, it tells of their lives and their growing
understanding of consciousness, and does so through the complex and
rich perspectives of holistic teaching and learning.
