Legacy | Of what you have does it make sense to have it? Does it make you look like a Downer? Dazzler? Dufus? Or look like an Actionist? Activisit? Advisor? Can you have both -- at the same time? |
Legacy | Within to without for reasons of between, in turn encourage together, and allows for beyond actions -- Stories of concern, Stories of influence, Stories of humanity expressing significare (significant care) |
Legacy | Living Your Older Life: Are you yielding to confusion and anger? Have you gotten lost without purpose? Are you without, forgotten the ways forward? Decide today, another way! |

Nature | How might Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge (ITEK) inform ecopsychology?. Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge may help ecopsychology play a more important role in addressing the global challenges of climate change... This conceptual paper highlights three ecopsychology lessons from Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge (ITEK), which is viewed by Indigenous people as a way of life more than a body of knowledge. ITEK encourages listening to voices typically excluded from Western discourse, recognizes the danger of Western modernity that can denigrate Indigenous beliefs, and re-frames modernity as a contributor to environmental challenges. By Coope (2019) https://childrenandnature.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=84bc8aed7ef3c95d84fa1e04b&id=f78f4e723f&e=a5acfb9f2e |
Nature | Indigenous ecological attachment can promote ecological empathy and mindfulness, important for enhancing nature connectedness This study developed an assessment of ecological attachment, empathy, mindfulness, and green action from an Indigenous perspective using tools and measures. It used the measures to assess a behavioral intervention to reconnect non-Indigenous participants to nature. Results suggest that ecological attachment actions can improve ecological empathy and mindfulness in non-Indigenous participants. Returning to an Indigenous perspective and knowledge might be the way to help reverse ecological crises, but policies and political changes are also needed.Kurth et al., 2020 https://childrenandnature.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=84bc8aed7ef3c95d84fa1e04b&id=923e1f8bff&e=a5acfb9f2e |

Nature | The City of Providence, Rhode Island held a ribbon cutting ceremony to launch its first green schoolyard as part of a broader citywide plan. Providence is part of the Cities Connecting Children to Nature (CCCN) initiative, a national partnership of the National League of Cities and the Children & Nature Network.

Nature | At Chicago-area 'forest school,' nature is the classroom... Free Haven Forest School in Illinois abides by the motto, "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing,” and conducts class outside 12 months out of the year. The campus is equipped with a tree house, creek, chicken coop, and acres of woods, and curriculum is developed around students’ interests. Students are encouraged to explore and take risks (safely), with younger students learning to extract honey from bee hives while older students are instructed in fire building. "When nature is your classroom, you're never going to run out of things to learn about, to be curious about, or to ask questions about," said the school’s founder. "When kids are outside they're less anxious, they're less depressed, and they can focus better." ABC7. https://childrenandnature.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=84bc8aed7ef3c95d84fa1e04b&id=3b3f87a455&e=a5acfb9f2e |
Nature | India’s forest schools back to the traditional concept of Gurukul, in which students lived on school premises and much of their learning was experiential as they worked together to maintain their shared residence. Similarly, in the forest schools of India today, children learn from team activities. They also take part in supervised risky play like trekking, and physical play, which helps them develop their coordination and agility. https://childrenandnature.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=84bc8aed7ef3c95d84fa1e04b&id=91d23fc913&e=a5acfb9f2e |
