A wake up call…

For many, the global pandemic was a wake up call to the perpetual systematic failures and injustices. For others, it was the answer to the call for a massive collective shift of consciousness that has been chanted, written and repeated by many generations around the world. For myself, it was the later. I remember the first time hearing the word pandemic and the first thought that came to me was “this is it”. Not “this is it” as in doomsday. “This is it” as in “this is the moment we’ve been waiting for; the time is now”. 

It was years prior to the global pandemic that I became aware of the systematic failures in western education. Having spent 10 years of my early adult life in the university system and eventually acquiring four degrees, I saw firsthand the cycle of domestication and programming of western education. I was actively involved in student government and administration, was the founder of an Independent Student Organization that is still operating today (Students of Sustainability), won a prestigious sustainability award, started a nonprofit organization– all things that led me to where I am today, yes, but also led me to see the proliferation of reductive thinking. In all of the positions I carried, I did so with a strong advocacy for change. I was loud about change, and it often threatened and intimidated professionals and colleagues around me. I remember the day asking the Dean of my undergraduate college if he’d be willing to write me a recommendation letter for graduate school. His response was (in a casual snarky tone) “You’ve built a reputation for being quite rebellious, I’m not sure I can recommend a rebel”, and I replied in the same manner “Me a rebel, no! I’m just passionate!”. While those were the words that came out of my mouth, what was really going on in my head is that I didn’t build that reputation, others placed me in that category because I ask questions, and if there’s anything I’ve learned over my time in the system, is that the system does not like to be questioned. I questioned everything, because a majority of the constructs being conditioned into our minds we’re filtered through inconsistent and unreliable scientific illusions and perspectives.

My Teaching Philosophy issimple.

Be in the Moment, Be Present, Be in Nature

It’s my passion to engage young learners with the natural environment. I enjoy teaching about the complex natural systems that sustain life on earth through fun, hands-on lessons. All of my classes are uniquely crafted to help young learners enhance their personal relationships to the environment!

I design my own curriculum with the knowledge and experiences I’ve accumulated over the 10 + years of higher-level education in Agroecology, Plant Science, Hawaiian Lifestyles, and Environmental Management from the University of Hawai’i. The Learning Ecosystem Framework I created is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and meets Hawaiʻi Homeschool Standards.

I’ve taught science both in-person and online to middle school level learners since August 2019 for a local STEM program on Oʻahu, Geneius Day; and prior to my undergraduate studies assisted in the development of a K-12 ʻĀina in Schools curriculum for a local non-profit organization and helped establish school gardens at local elementary schools.

I see my responsibility as a teacher to arm the next generation with the wisdom that will unlock the intrinsic knowledge within them. To give them tools to sustain their ever-growing gardens (minds) and unlock their own sense of wonder. And to broaden their individual capacity for creativity in a world that desperately needs direct action today for a better tomorrow. Let’s face it… the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

A journey through the continuum

A journey through the space-time continuum of that which feeds us

The S P A C E – T I M E continuum is the interface between atmosphere and earth where both domains exchange water, carbon, and other various biogeochemical transformations and fluxes; and comprises mineral, gaseous, liquid, and biological components.

On one side of the spectrum, processes in soil and vegetation, for example, influence atmospheric burgeoning [S P A C E]. On the other side of the exchange, the atmospheric conditions are chiefly influenced to the extent of what happens below the soil surface (e.g., the capacity for exhalation of water through the stomata of transpiration [T I M E].

The continuum expands the three dimensions of space (up and down, left and right, back and forth) and the fourth dimension of time – to an extra dimension of space, the fifth dimension.

Traversing Through the Continuum is a matter of shifting your conscious formation into a continuous one. 

Continuity, opposed to discontinuity, can be understood as a highly complicated idiosyncratic assemblage of similar assemblages influenced by space and time factors. In 1905, even Einstein theorized that space and time are actually interwoven into a single continuum (space-time continuum) that spans multiple dimensions comprising multiple continua.

In the conservations of life, we need to be able to recognize that when we speak, we speak words into living reality. That means we transmute our talk. We go up, not down. We recognize that the language that we operate from are the codes and keys that unlock possibility or put us in a place of entrapment. In order for us to move through the continua of consciousness that requires us to be more responsible in the nature of our being, it’s important for us to sink into that place of recognizing our words. Which means to self-inquire: How are you using your language?

We have to return back to that nature. And the only way we are going to shift the system is that we ourselves have to shift our perception and the way we see ourselves. And each of us are Creative Geniuses.
