Principles
Awakened Learning Space aims to provide an alternative more enlightened, effective, wholesome and healthy approach to life for those dissatisfied with the prevailing mainstream educational, healthcare and societal norms as outlined below:
“Awakened Learning is concerned with awakening the non-visual senses in a bid to create richer, more well balanced, enjoyable and fulfilled lives. In this space, we develop the other senses, which opens up a more flexible, gentler, kinder and less anxious way to be in this world”
“We aim to help children and adults not only to discover their uniqueness, their gifts to this world, but also to recognise what we all ultimately share in common. The Essence of our Oneness. We must hold the two aspects of ‘different’ and ‘uniqueness’ together as One in order to create a more peaceful, caring and functional world.”
“Showing children and adults another way to Be in this world other than to be constantly at the mercy of the mind and identified solely with thoughts, things, people and constant striving and achievement. A way of Being rather than doing; an idea from which most of humanity today, is detached, resulting in the anxiety and fear pandemic in which most people swim everyday.”
“Realising our Oneness with/as Nature, and that Everything and Everyone in it as merely an expression of that. This leads to a greater sense of compassion and kindness towards all people and things…a more loving way to step through this world.”
“Being awake is to go beyond the eyes and the visual appearances of this world. When our eyes are closed, we go beyond the illusion of separation and that there are 10,000 different things to learn. First we move beyond the belief in Matter, into mastering The Mind, and then subsequently beyond that to transcend the Mind into the innate Happiness and Peace within which we truly are. This is far beyond the illusion of separation so convincingly put forward by the eyes.”
