Free School

Today i learnt something that will change the way i teach forever. I learnt to trust my instincts and to allow space for the group i was working with to be both the teachers and the learners.

Jackie and i created the space,the energy and a sense of adventure. The people who had never taught created something new and beautiful and they shared their wisdom and their gifts. The people of Gettalife embodied togetherness and they listened and appreciated each other and we danced to round off the day. Oliver and Christine swayed and rocked to Lean on Me and we followed their every move.

One teacher is never enough.

To learn to be together we must all be seen as both teacher and student.
