The Power of the Circle is immense.
In a single gesture it puts all of existence into perspective.

Synopsis
This innovative book explores education as process and nature as the ultimate teacher: as we live, we grow – putting “living” back into education. Drawing on life experience, acknowledging the power of a group which gathers as a conscious transformational moment for all those present, this book is a gem of inspiration, quotes, imagery, stories for: teachers, facilitators, trainers and all those who work with groups.

Quotes from book
“Techniques – The underlying dimension of technique is to allow the group energy to flow in a circle. If it is not flowing, your job is to ask why and to get it flowing again… The magic of a group happens in the emptiness…”
“The seven practices that follow are a system of engaging with yourself, your students, the material and the world. Self, The World, Limits and the four directions of the Teaching Wheel.”
“We are all in this together – you drink my water, I breathe your air. There is only one subject – life - in all of its manifestations.”

I read it in one sitting -Please send me 4 more, for now. it was perfect!-Margaret

"Much of our education is reduced to formal methods of information gathering. Here is a book which broadens the parameters and presents the Big Picture of education. Read this book and you will discover many more ways of learning than a classroom and lessons can offer"

-Satish Kumar, publisher of Resurgence Magazine

“For David Aubrey Berger, former university professor and now head of the Living Education Institute, learner centered education is not just a pedagogical theory/practice, but a highly personal and spiritual outlook on life. He challenges teachers to honor the learner's personal quest, partly by keeping themselves awake as learners. This is the inspirational aim of the personal anecdotes, scraps of wisdom from various sources, short essays, and many photographs and drawings that make up, Living Education: The Power of the Circle.
Berger's methods are not specific to any subject area, nor does he go into much detail about them, but among the tools and techniques he recommends are meditation, drumming and drum-making, medicine wheels, sweatlodges and (above all) outdoor excursions such as canoe trips, for, as he says, "Schools tend to obscure the simple fact that the only real source of knowledge is nature." Good therapy if you feel trapped in your curriculum (or your classroom) and need a healthy dose of wild new age wisdom to revitalize your teaching.”
