EXCERPT
The Sanctuary School offers children a foundation
in kind living
and love of nature by encouraging compassionate participation,
partnership with all life, and individual creative expression.
************
Every teacher of the Sanctuary Program must have a deep
appreciation for nature and a respect for all life. This is essential
and is, perhaps, the primary note in the Sanctuary Program. Children
demand and command truthfulness. They are very careful to sort
out in their minds who is telling the truth and speaking from
the heart and who is not.
This means that a thorough self-examination and understanding
of your own capacity to guide the child in the Sanctuary approach
to education is necessary. If you can say that you are a friend
of all life and a respecter of all living beings, as well as
the natural environment, you will be able to respond to the Sanctuary
School approach to education and living.
What matters now are your self-honesty and your capacity
to speak and listen from your heart-mind. This handbook will
explore with you the realm of heart-intelligence, how it can
be reached and utilized. When the heart is understood as the
sanctuary that embraces and vitalizes the circle of life, the
creative magic of the teaching circle can emerge to the delight
of the children and the well-being of our planet. Consciousness
can be lifted directly through the heart into a world of enlightenment
and compassionate service.
How do you trigger the heart-mind as active intelligence
and how do you create a teaching circle in your classroom?
A teaching circle is a creative expanse of energy that
penetrates the classroom. It connects all life into a single
unit where no barriers can exist and no static, rigid paradigm
can remain. The fluidity of the circle moves energy around from
one conception base to another. It passes thoughts into higher
degrees of conscious awareness and allows revelation to occur
within the class. It creates mobility of thought.
