Miro Learns About Shamanism On The Road Of Life

 

I was recently interviewed by Lainie Liberti from the "unschooling" blog called Raising Miro on the Road Of Life. Lainie and her son Miro, now age fourteen, have been traveling through Central and South America for the last four years. They are currently living in Cusco and beginning to bring down other groups of "unschoolers" to visit and learn from life. Unschooling according to Wikipedia is

"an educational method and philosophy that rejects compulsory school as a primary means for learning. Unschoolers learn through their natural life experiences including play, game play, household responsibilities, personal interests and curiosity, internships and work experience, travel, books, elective classes, family, mentors, and social interaction. Unschooling encourages exploration of activities initiated by the children themselves, believing that the more personal learning is, the more meaningful, well-understood and therefore useful it is to the child. While courses may occasionally be taken, unschooling questions the usefulness of standard curricula, conventional grading methods, and other features of traditional schooling in maximizing the education of each unique child"

In the interview I talk about the progress of The Path of the Sun, the subject of shamanism, ancient knowledge and sacred plants, as well as my own personal transformative experience I have had on this journey to Peru to work and live with shaman and film a feature length documentary.
