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!

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!

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.
