self-aware but they didn’t have the
self-aware but they didn’t have the capacity of knowing so they took a lot
capacity of knowing so they took a lot
capacity of knowing so they took a lot of actions that actually created a lot
of actions that actually created a lot
of actions that actually created a lot of problems and I met some great
of problems and I met some great
of problems and I met some great activists doing very good work and doing
activists doing very good work and doing
activists doing very good work and doing doing doing doing but they were ending
doing doing doing but they were ending
doing doing doing but they were ending up burned out or having very strong
up burned out or having very strong
up burned out or having very strong these connections with their teams
these connections with their teams
these connections with their teams because they didn’t develop much the
because they didn’t develop much the
because they didn’t develop much the capacity of being and and this is all
capacity of being and and this is all
capacity of being and and this is all very natural since we didn’t learn those
very natural since we didn’t learn those
very natural since we didn’t learn those capacities in school we need to develop
capacities in school we need to develop
capacities in school we need to develop them ourselves but how to do that so the
them ourselves but how to do that so the
them ourselves but how to do that so the first step that I would say is to stop
first step that I would say is to stop
first step that I would say is to stop stop and reflect on those three
stop and reflect on those three
stop and reflect on those three capacities and see which ones you think
capacities and see which ones you think
capacities and see which ones you think you’re good at and what are the ones
you’re good at and what are the ones
you’re good at and what are the ones that you could further develop and then
that you could further develop and then
that you could further develop and then with that in mind our next step could be
with that in mind our next step could be
with that in mind our next step could be maybe you can go and learn at one of
maybe you can go and learn at one of
maybe you can go and learn at one of those transformative schools around the
those transformative schools around the
those transformative schools around the world but I know maybe you might be
world but I know maybe you might be
world but I know maybe you might be thinking yeah maybe that’s not possible
thinking yeah maybe that’s not possible
thinking yeah maybe that’s not possible for me for different reasons and but
for me for different reasons and but
for me for different reasons and but what if I told you if you could create
what if I told you if you could create
what if I told you if you could create this education for yourself and you
this education for yourself and you
this education for yourself and you might think is it even possible and I’ll
might think is it even possible and I’ll
might think is it even possible and I’ll say yes it is possible it’s not easy it
say yes it is possible it’s not easy it
say yes it is possible it’s not easy it takes time and actually even if you went
takes time and actually even if you went
takes time and actually even if you went to one of those schools transformation
to one of those schools transformation
to one of those schools transformation and development of those capacities is
and development of those capacities is
and development of those capacities is not guaranteed because you really comes
not guaranteed because you really comes
not guaranteed because you really comes from your own attitude as a learner but
from your own attitude as a learner but
from your own attitude as a learner but how would you do that so we we looked at
how would you do that so we we looked at
how would you do that so we we looked at those schools and we realize that there
those schools and we realize that there
those schools and we realize that there are two key elements that they apply in
are two key elements that they apply in
are two key elements that they apply in their learning that makes the the
their learning that makes the the
their learning that makes the the transformation and developing of those
transformation and developing of those
transformation and developing of those capacities much more likely and the
capacities much more likely and the
capacities much more likely and the first element is creating challenges
first element is creating challenges
first element is creating challenges different challenges especially
different challenges especially
different challenges especially challenges to the learners values and
challenges to the learners values and
challenges to the learners values and beliefs so they can question the way
beliefs so they can question the way
beliefs so they can question the way that they see the world and they do it
that they see the world and they do it
that they see the world and they do it in many different ways like for example
in many different ways like for example
in many different ways like for example inviting all kinds of diversity to the
inviting all kinds of diversity to the
inviting all kinds of diversity to the learning so they welcome people from
learning so they welcome people from
learning so they welcome people from many different countries different
many different countries different
many different countries different cultures different ages different
cultures different ages different
cultures different ages different background

background they ask questions that are provocative
they ask questions that are provocative
they ask questions that are provocative that are challenging that make people
that are challenging that make people
that are challenging that make people think in ways they never thought of
think in ways they never thought of
think in ways they never thought of before and they have methods that engage
before and they have methods that engage
before and they have methods that engage the whole body and they learn not only
the whole body and they learn not only
the whole body and they learn not only the brain you could maybe learn about
the brain you could maybe learn about
the brain you could maybe learn about leadership through dancing tango
leadership through dancing tango
leadership through dancing tango and they also invite real life to the
and they also invite real life to the
and they also invite real life to the learning and invites deep reflection to
learning and invites deep reflection to
learning and invites deep reflection to the learning you could for example go
the learning you could for example go
the learning you could for example go spend a few days in nature with a
spend a few days in nature with a
spend a few days in nature with a question that is very important to you
question that is very important to you
question that is very important to you to find your own answers to it and even
to find your own answers to it and even
to find your own answers to it and even though those schools are very creative
though those schools are very creative
though those schools are very creative in adding challenges to their learning
in adding challenges to their learning
in adding challenges to their learning this is actually something that anyone
this is actually something that anyone
this is actually something that anyone can can do and even very traditional
can can do and even very traditional
can can do and even very traditional schools apply many of those challenges
schools apply many of those challenges
schools apply many of those challenges but the second elements of the
but the second elements of the
but the second elements of the transformative schools that make their
transformative schools that make their
transformative schools that make their education fundamentally different from
education fundamentally different from
education fundamentally different from traditional ones I believe is that they
traditional ones I believe is that they
traditional ones I believe is that they create a safe environment for learning
create a safe environment for learning
create a safe environment for learning safe space what do I mean with that safe
safe space what do I mean with that safe
safe space what do I mean with that safe space is a place where anyone can make
space is a place where anyone can make
space is a place where anyone can make mistakes without being judged where a
mistakes without being judged where a
mistakes without being judged where a strong and supportive community of
strong and supportive community of
strong and supportive community of learners can be formed it’s a place
learners can be formed it’s a place
learners can be formed it’s a place where learning can happen because we
where learning can happen because we
where learning can happen because we have learned so many things in
have learned so many things in
have learned so many things in traditional education that actually
traditional education that actually
traditional education that actually don’t serve our own growth and our own
don’t serve our own growth and our own
don’t serve our own growth and our own developments and those are our world and
developments and those are our world and
developments and those are our world and also it’s a place where intrinsic values
also it’s a place where intrinsic values
also it’s a place where intrinsic values can be practice what are those values
can be practice what are those values
can be practice what are those values those are values like care at love like
those are values like care at love like
those are values like care at love like a trust like openness like respect and
a trust like openness like respect and

actually it’s the presence of those
actually it’s the presence of those values that makes those challenges
values that makes those challenges
values that makes those challenges don’t become only defensiveness or
don’t become only defensiveness or
don’t become only defensiveness or frustration or even traumas and in how
frustration or even traumas and in how
frustration or even traumas and in how in practical ways how do those schools
in practical ways how do those schools
in practical ways how do those schools do that for example they would the
do that for example they would the
do that for example they would the facilitators and the learners would
facilitators and the learners would
facilitators and the learners would create community agreements or they

games and we go spend time with those schools they
we go spend time with those schools they
we go spend time with those schools they actually look a lot like a group of
actually look a lot like a group of
actually look a lot like a group of friends or family much more than a
friends or family much more than a
friends or family much more than a school so maybe they are the ones who
school so maybe they are the ones who
school so maybe they are the ones who are closer to the original meaning of
are closer to the original meaning of
are closer to the original meaning of the world school if you don’t know
the world school if you don’t know

that’s from the old Greek scholar it
that’s from the old Greek scholar it means time then you take for leisure so
means time then you take for leisure so
means time then you take for leisure so now that we have learned about those
now that we have learned about those
now that we have learned about those three capacities and two elements that
three capacities and two elements that
three capacities and two elements that make the development of them much more
make the development of them much more
make the development of them much more likely so what’s next well I could give
likely so what’s next well I could give
likely so what’s next well I could give you a list of books or workshops online
you a list of books or workshops online
you a list of books or workshops online courses you could do our actions you
courses you could do our actions you
courses you could do our actions you could take they could help you develop
could take they could help you develop
could take they could help you develop those capacities but I’m gonna do
those capacities but I’m gonna do
those capacities but I’m gonna do something that I think is much more
something that I think is much more
something that I think is much more meaningful let’s give you an invitation
meaningful let’s give you an invitation
meaningful let’s give you an invitation it’s an invitation for seeing life in a
it’s an invitation for seeing life in a
it’s an invitation for seeing life in a different way it’s forcing life as a
different way it’s forcing life as a
different way it’s forcing life as a transformative learning journey and what
transformative learning journey and what
transformative learning journey and what do I mean with that
do I mean with that
do I mean with that well what those schools do is that they
well what those schools do is that they
well what those schools do is that they get life with all its complexity with
get life with all its complexity with
get life with all its complexity with its challenges with its beauties and
its challenges with its beauties and
its challenges with its beauties and they invited into their learning which
they invited into their learning which
they invited into their learning which is very different from a traditional
is very different from a traditional
is very different from a traditional education that’s today separated so the

so we if you look at life as a
so we if you look at life as a transformative learning journey we can
transformative learning journey we can
transformative learning journey we can look at all those challenges that come
look at all those challenges that come
look at all those challenges that come to us as great opportunities for growth

to us as great opportunities for growth for learning and you can look at all the
for learning and you can look at all the
