VA 4, EP. 16 The Masters of Nature, on Teaching as Doing

This episode is a loving meditation on Teaching. Departing from the words of The Prophet on the assertion that a Teacher’s job is truly an exercise in guidance, mentorship and leadership into the threshold of our own mind. We then travel to the Colombian Amazon, to discover the communities that have thrived there for milennia, who in their knowledge of nature and coexistence with it, have so much to teach us all. We begin by learning about the cosmology and cultural wisdom of the Huitotos, the People of the Center, of Cassava and Tobacco, who in their daily doing are in fact, teaching a sustainable way of life.
