Learning often begins with an experience in the body. Our body can
tighten or feel expansive depending on different learning contexts.
This experience of learning in the body is crucial to holistic
education. This book explores embodied learning from several
perspectives. This first section explores how psychology can inform
us about embodied learning; for example, the work of Carl Jung and
Wilhelm Reich devoted much of their thinking to how energy
manifests itself in the body. Meditation and movement are also
examined as ways of embodied learning; for example, Dalcroze, a
form of movement education, is presented within the context of
whole person education. The book also presents schools where
embodied learning is nurtured. Waldorf education is discussed as
well as a public school in Toronto where the body is central to
holistic education. The book also presents visions of embodied
learning. John Miller presents a holistic vision of teacher
education and Tobin Hart, who has written extensively in this
field, writes about the embodied mind. Embodied learning is an
emerging area of inquiry in holistic education and this book
presents a variety of perspectives and practices that should be
helpful to both scholars and practitioners.
