Organic learning is learning that occurs naturally out of the child's innate sense of wonder of the world and their relationship to it. It is deeply inspired by both Reggio Emilia and Waldorf approaches to learning. Though the curriculum is centered around the projects that flourish out of the child's interest, careful attention is payed to the reverence for rhythm and aesthetic which is designed skillfully by the parent/teacher. Forming environments where learning is spontaneous requires the teacher to be facilitator, designer, architect, artist, and philosopher -- being present not forceful, and allowing each child to digest information at their own pace and to their own capacity.

It is for this reason much attention is placed in the home-school room and outdoor environments, setting stages of intricately designed "sets" where the children are awe inspired by the beauty of the objects and concepts that are being presented. Finding beauty in relationship to all things means developing the perspective of positive awareness even when things may not go according to plan or are not in keeping with aesthetic ideals. Seeing "art" potential in the pile of junk, seeing the stained old shirt as "fabric" for a new project, seeing beauty in the way the wind carries a leaf, or the spider weave its web. Seeing the world through the eyes of beauty and potentiality allows the child to develop a deep reverence and respect for all things, finding ways to create beauty out of chaos, and finding the perspective of objectivity vs. judgment.

The child that emerges is a child that works with their respective environments, people, relationships and emotions, not against them. Orchestrating cohesive solutions which honor vs. control, and allow things to merge into the beauty of their organic state.
The child that emerges has the emotional intelligence to recognize feelings of "pain" such as sadness, or anger in objective awareness, knowing they are passing as the wind. Likewise, feelings of intense joy or excitement may pass too, but what remains is beauty of self. The awe of our creation in it's natural organic state. Pure potentiality. Pure essence of being. Pure awareness.
The child that emerges is an artist, inventor, peacemaker, teacher, leader, and visionary.
The child that emerges is a child that has the confidence to become the change they wish to see in the world and inspire beauty all around them.

Real learning is a process of discovery, and if we want it to happen, we must create the kinds of conditions in which discoveries are made. We know what these are. They include time, leisure, freedom, and lack of pressure. - John Holt
