From my book: I like to think of ecosystems as a dance of interdependence. All ecosystem contributors, living and nonliving, participate in this grand improvisation. I don’t know the names of all the players in the band, but the seasons certainly lay down the beat for the rest of us. #ecology

Independence is a myth! Try existing in space as a test of your independence. Instead of learning how to be more independent, we should all learn to be more interdependent with each other and the rest of the natural world!

#forestschool #homeschool #unschool #edusky #education #natureschool In this journal, I reflect on the value of play-based learning. Yes, free play is wonderful and important, and I leave plenty of time for it. And, play-based adult-guided activity can also be a joyful learning experience for kids!

#forestschool #homeschool #edusky Here's how I help kids deepen their relationships with themselves, each other, and the beyond-human world. The kids spent some time tying knots. Here's a post on working with cordage, including basic knot tying. peterkindfieldphd.substack.com/p/cordage-ta...

#forestschool #edusky #homeschooling #unschooling #ecology It took me 60 years to find my niche as a nurturer of outdoor learning environments and communities for children! For more about how I help kids construct their understanding of heat, see: peterkindfieldphd.substack.com/p/snow-play-...

No being is independent or self-sufficient. If you think you are, try one minute in outer space without any of the relationships we need to survive. Here's my declaration of #interdependence #ecology #forestschool #unschooling #edusky #deepadaptation #collpase

Hi @katharinehayhoe.com I'm not sure if I'm in your climate educators starter pack. I host the Deep Adaptation Educators group, help kids learn skills they need to face collapse and am writing a book maybe called Becoming Earthlings: Transformative Adventures for Kids and Their Adults.

All living beings are similar. We're formed from similar materials, use energy to do similar things, and maintain homeostasis until we don’t. Cycles, synthesis, decomposition, and interdependence are critical in maintaining homeostasis. peterkindfieldphd.substack.com/p/synthesis-... #Education
