Active Practice of Learning

​Defining Statement:  Defining Statements Forthcoming

---

Cultivating a stance of learning is a nervous system practice situated outside of the security of certainty. It is the growth edge that provides us all space to learn new things, understand one another’s perspectives, and practice new neural pathways of thought, movement and regulation. As a community of people who are in active practice of learning, we step outside of the hierarchical models of transmission of information and the binaries of teacher/student, knowledge holder/knowledge receiver, right/wrong etc, and make space for the multitudes of nuance, truths, and possibilities that coexist in our individual and shared realities. By building right sized relationship with being in process (not always right, not always wrong, always learning) we practice building our capacity for sitting in discomfort, being receptive to feedback, practicing rigorous self-inquiry, engaging in genuine repair, and the intimacy and power of asking for and giving support. Herein lies our collective and individual power to better understand, shift, change, adapt, grow, heal, connect, repair and collaborate.

• Practicing compassion
• Annual feedback session at the end of each season
• Resource library on Trello
  

Here’s the ‘how’ we are interested in doing it in the upcoming season(s):
