Misty Meadows Wellspring, Dargle Creating a learning ecosystem for children We are committed to learning as an organic process rather than a mechanical one.

For this reason we avoid factory-like schooling in favour of self-organised learning with children at the centre of a constantly-evolving learning ecosystem and not at the bottom of a standardised learning hierarchy. We know that all children are highly capable in different ways and that rather than telling them what or how to think, we need to support them to think and function in ways that make

sense to them. A learning ecosystem is an enabling environment that supports the emergence of learning as an organic process. "If you change your fundamental metaphor for the education of children from a mechanical one to an organic one – in other words, from the manufacture of a product to the flowering and fruiting of a plant – then you begin to see that your role is not to rigidly control each step in the process – with age-graded standards and lists of objectives and scope-and-sequence outlines and percentile scores – but to create the conditions – the soil, the water, the light – under which human brilliance may unfold and flourish" (from The Future of Big-Box Schooling on schoolingtheworld.org).

We love this quote so much!

/ Anais Nin /
"Tranquility is contagious, peace is contagious. One only thinks of the contagiousness of illness, but there is the contagion of serenity and joy."
"Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell was a French-born American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of the composer Joaquín Nin and the classically trained singer Rosa Culmell. Nin spent her early years in Spain and Cuba, about sixteen years in Paris, and the remaining half of her life in the United States, where she became an established author. Nin wrote journals prolifically from age eleven until her death. Her journals, many of which were published during her lifetime, detail her private thoughts and personal relationships. Her journals also describe her marriages to Hugh Parker Guiler and Rupert Pole, in addition to her numerous affairs, including those with psychoanalyst Otto Rank and writer Henry Miller, both of whom profoundly influenced Nin and her writing."
