This episode is a conversation with Jonny Walker, a poetry, creative writing and language arts educator from London/Uk. We explore how 'traditional' or classical education benefits when we incorporate nature based approaches that deliver powerful outcomes for students and schools. He shares about the need for direct experience and full contact with nature for awakening and expanding the outer and inner world of his students, which leads to inspiration, depth and courage, which are all essential for the creative arts.
We discuss how Language Arts educators can become 'Forest Educators' when they take that first step in planning retreats and 'field trips' that can change the course of the lives of their students. We also discuss an upcoming Educator Retreat in April that dives into Poetry, Writing, Expression, Mythology and Nature, where he will share his approach and methods. Jonny shares how important it is for educators to rediscover and ignite our own passion for writing, and how he likes to give educators lots of first-hand experiences so that they understand them from a student's perspective.
