Attuning to place: rooting into our sensorial natures

An active meditation on environment, education, and our sensorial bodies wherein the whole person (body and mind) was invited to take part, slow down, and tune in.

Often we find ourselves disconnected from the natural environment, settled into static ideas and patterns of relationship. We’re taught our senses and emotions are of lesser value and, increasingly, we intellectualize. Through this, a split between body and mind broadens. How might we challenge habits of knowing and being that uproot us from our sensorial natures and the natural environments around us? What role does the natural environment play in our daily lives? What place does a connected body and mind have in the world at large? And where can a connected body and mind be situated in the classroom we are schooled for “the world at large” in? These questions underpinned the explorations of this inquiry.
