In this episode Monique Sayers speaks with Zoe Nash about Tree Education. This form of education not only encompasses practical ways to care for trees but also how to connect deeply with nature as a Guardian of Earth. We talk about very practical aspects such as how to plant tree seedlings from your own home, how to compost as well as the ancient art of connection with trees through guided breath. 

Zoe Nash is the  Co-Founder of The Tree Tribe  with Aidan McCauley.  They started this project out of a passionate need to take positive action in a time of climate crisis and humanity crisis of the pandemic.  They want to see more trees, and edible gardens in Antigua, for the community and the future generations.  This project birthed organically from their passion, and enthusiasm, and a co-creation with each other and the earth.  They are so grateful for all the support they have had to get to this project off the ground from the local and global community, from the government and friends.  Grow, give and plant!

In this episode Monique Sayers  and Trudy Keating speak with Gemma Hindley about how to support children with social, emotional needs and development rather than the old term of "special educational needs." You will hear real life examples from Gemma as a parent of children with special needs and Trudy Keating who is a teacher of over 20 years. Together they give us some practical tips on how to approach schooling by not accepting its current status and asking for new pathways of connection, collaboration and communication. 

Gemma is a parent of children with special educational needs, worked supporting children in schools for over 15 years, a certified Mindset and Mindfulness Coach and Qualified Yoga Teacher.  She now runs a Facebook group called SEND Parents Well-being and Powerful Advocacy Project, working with parents struggling to get the support their children need to access education. SEND stands for "Special Educational Needs," but we could refer to this as social, emotional, needs and development in a new paradigm of education.

In this episode Monique Sayers speaks with Jaki Rigg from  Dream School about how to create your own homeschooling hubs and communities. As homeschooling parent of two, educator and creator of the Dream School, Jaki discusses a range of aspects around pedagogy, values, community and play. It is not schooling, but rather about learning from life and play that form a new paradigm of education. 

Jaki Rigg has rarely been apart from the education scene. Completing a degree in Education and a post- graduate diploma in International Development (including a year-long foray into war-torn Somalia), her professional career has been almost entirely focused on education, spanning continents, states and systems, both private and public.

Despite all this exposure, it took listening to Sir Ken Robinson’s 2006 TED talk entitled, “How Schools Kill Creativity”, to bring a shocking realization of the inadequacies and indeed, destructive methodologies of the current mode of learning prevalent all around the world. For the sake of saving and nurturing the creative capacity of her young children, Jaki then began a journey of discovery into how we best learn, how this could translate into a community setting, and how this model could work and function in every context on earth. What has sprung from this research and investigation, was an experiment in education called Dream School. After seven years of molding and refining the Dream School model, Jaki has nailed the elements of learning that cause, not just children, but whole families and communities, to thrive.

In this episode Monique Sayers speaks with Anja Simmons about homeschooling and yoga for children. Anja provides us with some demonstrations that we can do with our children for them to be more calm.   

Anja is a Trained British Nanny, yoga teacher, parenting coach, and mother of two. After a decade of raising the children of other families, it came as a surprise when Anja's experience didn't quite apply when it came time to raise her own. It wasn't until she discovered yoga that she realized that while raising her children, she was also raising herself.  Anja is a retreat and space holder for women around the world. She hosts Parenting Differently Podcast and coaches parents. One of her most memorable, out-of-comfort-zone memories was when she starred in the Vagina Monologues. It was exhilarating, considering vagina wasn’t even a common word in her vocabulary. Anja's first book, Parent From This Place. How yoga changed the way I parent, is now out on Amazon.com

Star children need help to connect with the human experience and one way to do this is through a profound connection with the Earth. The Earth is our school, our teacher, our heart, our home. This environment will enable these star children and young adults to find The Avatar within, bringing the skills and knowledge they bring from their cosmic lives down to the Earth. In this episode we explore multi-dimensional learning, cosmic education and how the Gateway to The Avatar vision and curriculum is forging the path of this New Paradigm of Education together. 

In this episode Monique Sayers connects with Karen Goodson and Julie Ferris from The Gateway to the Avatar. Karen Goodson and Julie Ferris are here to support star children, many of whom have been diagnosed by mainstream services as being neurodiverse. They feel that they are high vibrational young people who need help to navigate the human experience, that they are very talented and connected to their spiritual aspects, more so than the human, thus finding life here on Earth, somewhat challenging. In this episode we explore multi-dimensional learning, cosmic education and how the Gateway to The Avatar vision and curriculum is forging the path of this New Paradigm of Education together.
