The first act of awe, when man was struck with the beauty or wonder of Nature, was the first spiritual experience.
-Henryk Skolimowski

Heart-Centered Teaching Inspired by Nature, Nancy Rosenow observes...
"Giant Sequoia trees seem as if they should be sturdy enough to weather storms alone. In reality, though, even these magnificent specimens need help. An individual Sequoia growing by itself can be blown over in a strong wind. Only by interlocking roots with other trees can a Sequoia survive any kind of squall. There's a lesson for all of us there: Sequoias fare best when they support each other and so do we humans.
"Heart-centered educators know how to ask for help and how to offer help. We also know the energy available to us when we are working for something that transcends individual interests and concerns. At its core, heart-centered teaching is about paving the way for a world that will be a bit better than the one we inherited. John Whitehead said: 'Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.' It's why we do what we do. We want the message we send to the future to be one of hope. It's the message nature urges us to send."
