Life is all about balance. You don't always need to be getting stuff done as it's perfectly fine and absolutely necessary to shut down, kick back and do nothing. - LORI DESCHENE

Holistic education is based on the premise that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through connections to the community, to the natural world and to spiritual values such as compassion and peace. Holistic education aims call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a passionate love of learning. This is done, not through an academic “curriculum” that condenses the world into instructional packages, but through direct engagement with the environment. [...] There is no one best way to accomplish this goal, there are many paths of learning and the holistic educator values them all; what is appropriate for some children and adults, in some situations, in some historical and social contexts, may not be best for others. The art of holistic education lies in its responsiveness to the diverse learning styles and needs of evolving human beings. — Ron Miller for www.infed.org
