Unfolding Bodymind : Exploring Possibility Through Education (Foundations of Holistic Education Series)

Traditional forms of education have privileged cerebral learning without considering the importance of the whole person and the environment. What happens when we allow knowing to emerge through our senses, emotions, language, intuitions, and relationships? What views of the "body" help us to rethink and revitalize our interactions with the world? This collection of essays explores the possibilities that may unfold through these questions. The authors integrate theory with personal and pedagogical experience to enact their understandings of bodymind relationships. This book is for teachers, teacher educators, and others who are interested in fresh approaches to holistic and embodied forms of pedagogy, research, and curriculum in education.
