It\u2019s a workshop-in-a-podcast learning series on the the four elements of air, fire, earth, water, what we can learn from them about creating new systems and structures around education. The goal of digging into the elements here is to view ourselves and our work in education as part of a LIVING SYSTEM. Not part of an industry or a factory, which is no secret that\u2019s how we operate! We know this. We see it. We dwell on the problems! What we\u2019re talking about here is a way of connecting to paradigms outside of industrial, extractive, colonial, capitalistic paradigms to see if there\u2019s something here we can learn about setting up these new systems. We deal with education here in this Regenerative Ed Podcast, but, I often get folks saying, hey, this applies to the food system or the healthcare system or the personal systems I use in my household. Yes, yes! Definitely it does. We are in an age where it\u2019s clear as day that the old systems aren\u2019t working and we\u2019re looking at what to do differently. I\u2019m suggesting here that there are an infinite amount of things we can look to for inspiration, which is what we do on this podcast. In this series, we are focusing on the four elements. We\u2019ll talk about science, we\u2019ll talk about symbols, we\u2019ll talk about cultural phrases, we may even dip into the cosmos.  NOTE: I am not an expert in the elements! I am a human being with a history of experiences, many of which involve the educational system and textile systems, and I simply can observe patterns and connect them to ways to be in these new systems that has proved helpful for people. There\u2019s no capital T Truth here! Take what works and leave the rest. Add to it and create your own. Next week, we\u2019ll start with the air element! I\u2019ll see you next week to chat more about movement, currents, music, libras, and what it all has to do with education.
