COLLEGE of EMBODIED ARTS, ECOSPIRIT, INC. - is committed to:
"... the transmission of knowledge body to body, generation to generation,
as in, 'I learned it from some - body. A person I know.'
Learned what?
How to crush garlic, knit, spit a cherry pit, play pat-a-cake, sew a seam,
play an instrument, throw a boomerang, sing a song."
We accomplish this through transmitting knowledge person to person in the age old tradition of oral cutltures,
using methods that include embodied, experiential, and kinesthetic learning.
The College provides a locus for experiential, person based learning in which students are acknowledged as creative receptors, respected and valued as individuals, and teachers as honored repositories of wisdom and insight.
