Speaker 2 - Sheila:
HI Arrow, thank you People don't know who I am yet They just know I'm in the background all the time So I thought I'd say a little bit about myself That I am a mom and I am a grandma And I am an explorer of poetic synchronicities I recently retired from an office workforce And my time is filled with reading and gardening And I learned from my grandchildren The reason I'm here is I joined Arrow's team for PRQ and Arrow We have a shared vision to create an in-person get together For project creators and visionaries and collaborators And because here's Arrow's favorite part We are the technology We are the knowledge We are the collaborators And we are the creators And then I want to welcome Teresa From All Learning Reimagined She is a mother and educator With over three decades of embodied experience Across primary, secondary and distance education In Australiand internationally She's been

a teacher, a mentor, lecturer And she has led learning communities That are grounded in connection, stewardship And meaningful practice She's collaborated with educators across the globe To create learning experiences The honor, wisdom, coherence And the innate capacity within Each individual To know, create, and evolve Her passion is to inspire living learning And to be a gentle catalyst of remembrance Her podcast called All Learning Reimagined Can be found on BBS Radio Station 1 At 3 p.m. Central time on Fridays Welcome Teresa.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
Hello Sheila, hello Arrow, it's so lovely to be here Thank you.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
I'm thrilled to have you here Because my granddaughters are also homeschooled And I grew up in a household of teachers That I always relied on other teachers doing the teaching And now I find myself in somewhat of a role as teacher And so I have looked for ways to help supplement But I know how I look at teaching Thank you for what you bring to us.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
ABSolutely, I feel though that everyone's a teacher You don't need a label, you don't need a name tag Everybody, that's the whole point of living learning You can be outside in the backyard And helping your grandfather build a boat Or fix a bicycle, and he's teaching Like it's just a role It's something that we just naturally do As a part of humanity, I feel it's so ancient And yet these days it's like you can't do it without a piece of paper You need this qualification And I like to have fun with this and tell people that I have an MLE Which is a Master's in lived experience And because people just go, wow, you've got an MLE That sounds really fancy, schmancy And it's like, yeah, lived experience So I'm sure you've got this, Sheila.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
I'm having fun so far And they do love listening to me Go on and on about the oddest things So my dad was a biology teacher So a lot of nature and science gets slipped in there And my mother was a librarian So a lot of reading gets done Sounds amazing to me Well, I connected up with some of your podcasts in particular Because of some of the topics you covered Also cover some of my interests Like in the brAIn versus the mind And how the brAIn learns and the body learns How to learn, how to learn the things that were being told We feel it in our body or our bodies remember it And I like that whole concept You mentioned in one of your podcasts about brAIn gym and FeldenkrAIs And I know those names So I found, I didn't listen to all of them yet But you had it in April March and April, you had eight podcasts dedicated in a series Dedicated to this structure of learning That just built one on

top of the other Would you be able to talk some about that?

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
ABSolutely, aBSolutely, I love creating It seemed like a natural progression because I started my podcast Would have been probably a probably year ago And All of the, I just have so much Experience of what I'm learning because when I'm teaching and guiding and coaching and mentoring, I'm learning myself It's that's Symbiosis, you know, they're giving in the taking in the masculine and feminine energy that beautiful balance And so this series came from the shifting conversations that I was having particularly with educators Who were constantly in their mind and I was teaching them they had to heart draw, you know how to get out of your head and into your heart and feel it in your body Rather than overthinking overthinking, which is where Education, particularly in Australia has been going it's been pushing the neuroscience pushing the intelligence is only in the mind and, and it wasn't

talking about us or even Or even putting the lens the glasses and the lens and putting us in the perspective of being multi-dimensional and we are more than this Physical body, you know the spirit and the soul and our biofield The elements around us and so that's where the inspiration came from And what I like to do is I like shoes off. I go to the beach. I go to my local beach And it just pours out of me So I'm not downloading from something outside of myself.

I'm not channeling anything It's literally what's coming and I can feel it from my heart and I just write I hand write because when you're handwriting, we know we're using a different part of our brAIn when we're handwriting But it also has a direct connection to heart space Which is why when I work with children today and students today I get them to hand write because they're connecting directly into their heart And that's where this series came from so It had I had a different show because my show is only half an hour. I'm doing it in small sizable chunks MAInly from my my mother's busy mother perspective or I don't have time to listen to very long podcasts But if I'm in a car, I can listen to half an hour And so I thought in very small bite-sized chunks.

That's why my podcast is the way it is It can help just give a small inspiration or a small micro practice or something they can embed strAIght away, and so this series had language awareness Really looking at the vibration and the coding that's in within our words that we're using, the next one was relational learning, which is that you have to have connection before you can teach content So, you know the relationship Children don't learn from a teacher they don't like and if you don't have a good relationship with them, then that's that's sort of everything but it was also coming back to the relationship with yourself And also relationship with our beautiful earth our beautiful planet.

So, that relational learning is just essential, and then my the next show in the series was the learning field, which was really about emergence and flow and synchronicity Which led me to you girls today So, you know, that's that's sort of how it how it works Right Where were aligned in the same frequency and our hearts are aligning in our The coherence of what what it is we want to bring to the world has actually brought us together in this gathering It's just beautiful. And this is where this is where learning can take us the learning field It's it's it's really lovely. I want to do another series on that actually and go deeper, that would be that would be wonderful. Yeah, I'm I'm in creation mode at the moment.

I've got, I'm creating four other series as we go based on The listeners and their feedback that I've gotten and they've been so excited and they're using it They're using the ideas each week. So,, oh, just makes me so happy.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
One thing I want to point out to listeners is that Also with your podcasts there They have the AI, breakdown of it in your in your newer ones on BBS posts But on further down you've also posted formalized Papers that are their handouts for for the class you just taught that it's it's just unbelievable the amount of time you've put into this and the Coherence that you've pulled together to make it all easily digestible and fun.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
Thanks Sheila. I love to write. I feel like I probably should have been an author or a writer in an in another life, and so this is my fun like I don't watch Netflix., I don't watch TV I write and create so I do like to write an article every week That aligns to whatever the topic happens to be and because I've been teaching for so long I always have ideas of how you can then take this and use this within a learning context And, I actually had to learn how to use AI. I'm not a huge AI fan personally But I do it with Creating my image to go because I found I was struggling to find the images to go with the articles So I did had to learn that and we've never too old to learn. Are we really?

And the breakdown with the AI, I think Don has been doing that beautiful Don and Doug and the BBS crew Have taken that and run with it because like we get so many questions and people asking for More information so that the transcripts are really quite useful.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
Yes, they are.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
It's great., so it's a bit of fun at in that in that series you mentioned., so I've got passion led learning was another one So what you know what follows your highest excitement, which is basically what Project Review with Q is all about, isn't it? You know following your highest excitement So there's a whole episode on that And that one I was quite interested in because I had quite a few people Who had never considered it before I have an audience of all sorts, not all people who listened to my podcast are awake.

So I'm very particular about not Pushing things too quickly in their faces dropping and dripping seeds all over the place with what and encouraging them to find their own Journey like their own starting their own query asking the right questions and feeling what resonates with them But the passion-led learning was a really interesting Podcast For that show and then that led me into the embodied learning, which is what you started with So how we feel it in our body and if you don't feel safe, you won't learn you'll be compromised and it's just like the healing People will only heal a layer like when like an onion You'll only heal in the depth that you feel your body the consciousness of your body feels Safe to let go and release.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
And so I'm feeling feeling safe is something that we might want to do want to define Because I've found that feeling safe Is not necessarily feeling like you're going to be attacked. It's not necessarily Worried about the news of the day The feeling safe might just be can I speak out loud and no one will make fun of me. Is this a good question? Well, will I make people think I'm just weird And.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
Exactly and that's the world that we live in today the psychological safety And the fear of judgment. It's been in we've been ingrAIned. It's been indoctrinated into our society and into our modern education system. That's how they control us through the fear And not feeling like if we're that's the whole sheet thing. Isn't it following the herd following the crowd the group mentality because We essentially love and seek that connection, so it's almost been weaponized agAInst us when you think about some of the big political agendas out there, which I don't even want to go into Because they're not in my reality really and I know that people say well, that's not realistic saying that well, no It doesn't affect me. It's not in my reality.

I'm in a I choose something completely different And but the embodied learning is really getting in tune with your own body because our body is constantly communicating with us If I've got a tweak in a shoulder or a sore knee, it's telling me something and it's just that we're so distracted these days and we're often in our heads over thinking We're we're missing the cues until an illness comes or sometimes what I'm finding is, it's not always negative. It's not always an illness It's the body's communicating because something's shifting and changing in my body and there's different Mm. I don't want to say abilities, but yeah abilities are coming through.

There's there's a lot of things that are shifting and changing with people that I know around me because they are Working in sync that coherence with the gut there, you know, the gut feelings the whole new Neuro network that's in the gut including the heart and then the head so when the three of them are in alignment in the body That's where the magic happens So I today actually I recorded my first of another series on embodied intelligence because this was so fascinating to me And it's something that I don't feel has been brought to our awareness maybe weren't ready as as as a group Maybe weren't ready for this yet, but the whole embodied learning and considering How we can work with our body as an intelligence the fascia in our body as well And how this fits into the learning context is was really fascinating. So when I sat on the beach And created this series.

I ended up with nine, and so and I filmed the first one today So and I'm going to create an integration journal that goes this with this one So those that want to come along on the journey and it's all free it'll all be on the it'll all be on bBS people can go Choose to use it or not it'll resonate or not. I don't like to impose things on anybody But I do love to create it's one of my passions.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
, and then that is very obvious to And you are you are exuding That passion And it's something I struggled to find with all the projects I sent in I was just trying to find joy and Suddenly I realized I had to make it I'm and I'm the project and it's mine to create.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
Yay Isn't great I find that my body lights up when I know it's in alignment and I just get excited I mean, I can't sit still just talking to the tool view And I'm grinning like a lunatic because I can and I can see you're both beaming arrows that this huge beaming style. I love it, it's because this is what the projects all about us sharing and getting together and stopping a consumer Where someone's telling us what to think telling us what to do feeding us their belief systems And we're stepping out of that role and into the creational What do I love to do and everyone is a special little snowflake? Everybody does it with their own sick energetic signature. Everyone has their own heart their own Something to give I don't believe in the BS where people say oh, it's already been done before If you go onto YouTube, it's saturated.

Yeah, it is saturated, but they're not you They're not doing it with your energetic signature And those who are in resonance with your frequency They are they're not, it's not a build it and we will come they are wAIting They're wAIting for you to do what you have to share with the world and it doesn't have to be Massive it can just be a very small thing And that's where that's what I've been doing with starting on humanitarian projects for years I've been wAIting and wAIting and wAIting and wAIting and in the end I thought I'm just gonna get started Ah and the journey it's taken on me particularly the last 12 months the synchronicity and the flow has been Magnificent, but the whole thing comes from the place of contribution. It's not Service to self service to others. That's something that I used to say a lot until I realized that To serve is almost a type of slavery.

I don't want to serve. I want to contribute So I started shifting the language that I've used and when I cleaned up the language Because I realized that the language and the words they were saying were literally creating my reality when I shifted and chose to deliberately use different words Whole different opportunities just opened the field opened up.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
So for example, I've experienced that too very much. Thank you.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
The word decide I used to use the word decide all the time and now I've consciously delete that word from my communications because side c I d e means to murder So suicide homicide, pesticide genocide So if I'm deciding that I'm actually killing all of the other opportunities in the field in the quantum With them in thinking about quantum entanglement So decide is deliberately Embedded into our English language because as we know it's full of black magic And that's one of those words that we innocently use every day How many times in an education setting do we say decide you need to decide?

I now replace that with the word choose which feels very expansive; decide feels quite contracted in your body So when you are in tune with how your body feels as is expansive is this contracting me That's you're leaving your own bed breadcrumBS with where it takes you and so It's something as simple as that is stepping in the right direction And that's sort of how it goes so that redefining intelligence So the original series that were talking about You know, I started with language.

I went through to embodied learning Then nature as a teacher contribution to community My bartering barns project being a huge one that I'm very excited about And then redefining intelligence which is getting out of our brAIn intelligence is not just in the mind energy There's a lot of different intelligences and I'm currently building up two more series after the embodied intelligence to explore the elementals and elemental intelligence and then universal law and how that fits in with our intelligence So I'm currently working on it as we speak. I'll be quite.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
Sorry That reminds me what I've Enjoyed about some of the podcasts as you are actually singing a little bit of sunshine. Can you do that for? a little ray of sunshine.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
I do love singing; I sing all of the time And because I remember the song lines I have my memories back from the mirror and I used to work with song lines energetic song lines Not the ley lines nothing strAIght in nature And, I do sporadically like to sing so one of my nicknames was songbird Which is why I'm Yo, chose to use that as my surname on the podcast So so that people don't get stuck up with who are you because I don't care about my identity I just want to contribute and play with anyone else that's out there ready to play. What can we do? What can we do that solution focused?

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
I love it ready to play ready to play ready to play So I've been hearing a lot about that and I'm finally learning What that feels like And it usually comes with a wry smile. I've let's do it Let's go.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
Well, I think anything can be played, you know Someone who loves to cook getting to get them in the kitchen and give them a ray of ingredients and let them go that's play for them. It's not me because cooking and me. No, not too good, they used to be always be a running joke in my classroom before were ever cooking, the two because I traditionally burn everything because I get so distracted be talking. I forget to cook So play and cooking is not in sync with me, but you get me outside and I am in my happy place, you give me a pencil and blank paper like you put me in a stationery shop. Oh my gosh It's just it's amazing, there's there's something about different kinds of papers and different kinds of writing utensils and the way they drag across that paper That's incredible I think it come back to my bad days.

I'm pretty sure I was a bard in a in a previous life for sure Right writing on something, but you know, I think about my brother Who loves to go fishing and he's he's constantly camping and he's just outdoors. That's his play So we all have something that really lights us up and when you look at small children They are giving you signals of what they love to play as an adult like they're they're all literally like that microcosm microcosm When you think about it, what are they drawn to? What do they want to play? That's their highest excitement and that's really What the beautiful wise intelligent indigenous communities used to do They would look at what they were natural gravitated towards and then that's where they went into apprenticeships and masterships or Whatever field it was that were nurtured by the elders were what the child Followed with their own natural highest excitement.

So it's we forget as an adult It's almost like we feel like we have to go and get a job and we have to do this and should should should and we're shooting all over the place And I call it Mustabating not masturbating mustabating m u s t Mustabating we're must do this. We must do that. We must you know, it's just ridiculous So we've got to stop masturbating people and we need to go back to what do we really want to do?

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
Oh, that's wonderful. Yeah Make fun of words is a very fun pastime, isn't it? Oh shakespeare can make up words. Why can't we? But yeah, but make fun of them. We fly through pens in this household and yeah Just have to keep that going Oh Is there anything else you'd like to talk about your podcast what you want to share with the audience.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
, oh gosh, you know me. I can probably talk for days probably just It's fun to create and I have I did go through, some time when I interviewed lots lots I love listening to people and interviewing them and hearing their story And sharing so I have got quite a few interviews that I have been recorded But we're wAIting for the timing to be able to release them And, so that's going to be a lot of fun I feel like it's just a matter of I Are following following what feels feels like it needs to come forward I work in bursts of enthusiasm The old me would not recognize me today in my deputy principal's job. I was extremely organized I had color coding for my color coding. I you know had lists for like you wouldn't believe And extremely organized and now I'm so much in flow state of oh, where does the energy field today?

I'm gAIning momentum on this lots more's coming through and so I have no idea where it's going to go I do know that it's that it's fun and it's a way of bringing things forward but my Dream I guess my wish my desire perhaps is the word Is that when more education projects start stepping forward? I'd really love for it to be a space to be able to share successes and stories for what people are doing out there. They're are amazing Opportunities already happening globally in education, you know There's forest schools and there's collective groups coming together and doing beautiful things in alignment with You know anastasiand the ringing cedars of russia.

There's this so much that's out there That's in amazing that can be inspired so I'd really love to be able to see the podcast be a place where People can come forward and connect and share what it is that they're doing so that they're inviting us To come forward as well. I don't want to be the one that's constantly there. It's At the moment it feels like everything I'm creating is almost going to be used as possible Courses or modules or things that people can go to and tap into when they are ready Because every once at different stages of readiness and Time zones is really hard doing things live these days is very difficult when you're all over the planet, but if it's something that's recorded online People can tap into it whenever they want to watch it agAIn and agAIn and agAIn to get some inspiration and ideas And then how can they then add to that?

so Are getting together in their own communities maybe and sharing sharing those podcasts and Applying what they what they've learned to their own community. I don't I don't see schools going away anytime soon, but I do think that they will You're shifting it maybe from the outside where you couldn't shift it from the inside once Once more more and more people discover it There's a huge shift towards homeschooling globally and that's been going on for last 20 years, but it's gAIning momentum I actually had a message from a friend this week who's in New Zealand who sAId that the ministry of education in New Zealand are trying to make it illegal to homeschool and put everyone in boarding schools and they're really pushing hard on that agenda down there at the moment And whilst he sAId that I'm not worried because I did I cannot see it coming And I know they tried that in Michigan and

there was an advocacy for homeschooling group that went down the legal track and they managed to get The law reversed in that space and whatever it was that they did I can't remember the detAIls of the top of my head but They did come up with a solution that was for all of America And internationally as well. So if there's anyone that's listening today that's having issues in the homeschooling space I would highly recommend you to just do a quick search for advocate advocate advocate advocacy or can I say that word for homeschooling and Don't buy into the fear. Don't buy into some of these agendas that are being pushed in front of us It's as far as I'm concerned We do need to push back and make our boundaries and make it very clear what we choose to see We have a choice Which way we want to go down do we comply or do we create our own anyway?

and education When I had I had a conversation with Kostabout this on a one-on-one And I because I was trying to change the education system from the inside in my own tiny little world in my own tiny little way and completely burnt out What I feel is that there's an alternative which is actually back to the natural. So it's not alternative it's back to the natural way that we used to learn and I feel like all of these different opportunities are going to create and the traditional education systems will Die a natural death because people will leave when they see that children don't need to go to a school for five six hours a day They can do two hours or they can do lots of practical hands-on projects They can do apprenticeships.

There's so many different ways that we can do this where they're literally doing real life skills not the rubbish that they're learning whether you do 10 weeks on a unit of work that really these days AI could write for them in half an hour and they're producing this project of work that gives them no life skills For a judgment where they give you a grade to judge you so that you feel like you're not enough. It's ridiculous. What are we doing?

Speaker 1 - Arrow:
All right, you want to add to that conversation? Yeah, I have a question because I have a niece and her and her husband work two joBS They have five kids and over the years I've talked to them about homeschooling and it's like they're like, oh, yes We'd love to but I have to go out in the world and work And I do believe so I you know getting passionate in our hearts That's the reason I don't have any fear worries about these things about boarding schools or all the stuff that we hear out there Like making it illegal to do homeschool Just what like that's crazy, right? But if we're in our hearts and passionate about what we really want to do But do you have any ideas for those mothers out there who who feel like they have to be in the working world and can not homeschooled? Do you have any suggestions for them?

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
Oh, aro your synchronicity is off the charts Last weekend I went to a community farm day locally here and I actually ran a Was a short workshop for parents who are not able to homeschool so those who are in the system And the whole topic of it was how can you help navigate the system? And I created our handout And I actually did a podcast on it So I have a show which lots of lots of ideas of what you can do to help navigate And counterbalance the indoctrination that's happening in schools So some of the agendas that are in schools today I know amazing teachers who have just walked away They're like I'm not teaching this and they've literally left the joBS and left the profession And these are people who love children, you know, that's their passion and it's so It's devastating to see this happen But for the parents out there, there are a lot of things that you can do To balance what it

is that's happening with children and the first one and all of these are things that I did with my own my my own family my own daughter Is connection That means eating dinner together or having conversations because what happens as a working parent you come home And when you actually audit how much time you spend with your children It might be 15 minutes 20 minutes if you take out the Watching TV sitting and doing homework like all the things you have to do do But when do you actually get that time to connect and for me that connection time is actually bedtime So we had a tradition where we would tell stories, I would tell stories with my daughter. She would we played a game, we played lots of games, which I did put in the podcast and in the handout So I'm happy to share share it with you the handout that I created if you wanted to pass that on But.

Speaker 1 - Arrow:
We would love to we'll put that in maybe the episode that we're recording today Yes, and it's got lots of ideas of what you can tell. Yes. We would love to.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
So do When you're at bedtime and you're talking about their day and when you say to children How was your day? Good. What did you learn? I don't know That's it. That's a typical response and then parents think oh, well, what am I doing? There's a different way to be able to influence them with your values and your perspectives and to also find out what it is that they are Where their belief systems are being shaped because their belief systems are being shaped by people who are not you And it doesn't mean that parents own their children ABSolutely not but we are here they've chosen us to incarnate with us so that we can help guide them so that they can become sovereign and be self-governing and then they can Navigate the world themselves.

They are aware they know themselves And you can influence in that way with telling stories So I used to tell stories of my daughter used to say things like tonight, can we have Chewbacca from Star Wars and CaptAIn Jack Sparrow and I don't know she picked random characters and I would have to weave it in together in a story And sometimes it was her turn and she had to weave it together in a story Our stories were always allegory. So there were always a hidden meaning And that's how I actually drip fed and red peeled her over the years So she can see and connect dots now Purely because of what I embedded in those stories. She thought it was play but for me I wanted things to be I wanted to shift the lens or offer a different alternative perspective and Now nowadays I don't red pill anybody. I like to green pill them. So we've got our red pill.

We've got our blue pill I like to green pill that means we're creators So see yourself as a creator stop being a consumer. What can you create? And that's another thing that parents can do, if children are just getting an iPad getting a device sitting in front of the TV What are they creating? They could be if they're scrolling on their phone like licking the phone with their finger literally. It's ridiculous What are they doing with that? They could be doing micro learning. Could they be creating and putting something online? And people say oh, we don't we don't want to do the whole online thing. Well, I'm sorry to say that children want it They're embedded in it. They love it. So why not do it with them? How can they use this technology to create as a tool instead of the technology Influencing them and programming them so you can flip it.

Nothing is good or bad It's just how we choose to see it and how we choose to use it So for parents who are really tired. I get it. I've been there. I'm still there. It's carving out that time. We eat dinner together And if we're ever driving in a car, we play games. What if, or would you rather? Would you rather this or would you rather that and just the conversation?

You might have a completely different perspective, but you can share with them what you would do or where your perspective was which comes from the heart space And you're modeling you are literally modeling how to live your life Everyday and if you are too exhausted to play with your children You're that's what you're teaching them that they're not important And that work is more important And yes, we're in survival mode, but there is always a way there is always a choice There is always a solution and when you open up to the field and you connect in with yourself and you clean that distortion from your frequency Beautiful opportunities. You don't have to find it. It will find you This is what the All Learning Reimagined is about because people say oh it sounds you make it sound so easy It's so hard.

Yeah, it's hard, but I've lived this This is why I'm sharing all my little nuggets that I have learned because I'm literally living this Right now and it's taken me years to get there Why would everyone else be wanting to bumble around particularly in education when I can say well, this is a shortcut This is what I do., that's why I choose to write the articles and create activities People can choose to use them or not doesn't worry me doesn't affect me whatsoever, but it's my way of contributing That's the other thing parents can do talk to your children. How can you contribute? What can you do? Have a look around your neighborhood?, it has there been a flood can we replant trees?, is there are, any animal shelters that need volunteer Let's go for a walk on the beach, but let's take a bag with us and collect any rubbish that we're seeing on the beach as we're going Or or broken glass.

What can we do with this? Oh, let's create art. Great. This is fantastic So it's it's the shifting. It's those little tiny moments Even the conversation you're having when you're cleaning your teeth. That is the teachable moment We are literally living the learning you don't need four walls. You don't need a classroom Yes at the moment Currently children are supposed to go to a school That is shifting so quickly and it's not going to be forever There are going to be so many different options. They are already coming forward and these new children coming through Oh my gosh, they will not stand for it. They're looking at the old world going. Why are you doing this? I'm not doing that. They don't want to wAIt until retirement to start living a life.

They want to do it now And they are demanding it and people are saying well, you know, these millennials are a bit spoiled It's a the whole generation in the perspective and the lens But they're there they're here to bring through a shift of different way of seeing things and when we Get the different generations and the generational learning together, you know, get different generations living back in a house together Like a community magic happens. This is the way we're meant to be we're not meant to be Isolated and putting someone in a home and putting child in a childcare and I'm not guilty Anyone that's in that situation because we're in this situation But what can we choose for our future moving forward?

And it's really coming back to reflecting on yourself and doing an audit of your own life And your own being because what I have learned is when I changed the way that I Do things. Thank you Michael Jackson, "Man in the Mirror" when I shifted myself My actual literal reality shifted around me People Situations just dropped away from my reality because they were no longer in alignment with what I wanted what I chose So low in the answer. I'm so sorry, but I'm really passionate about this because this is the way out This is the way And no one has the answer, but we all have the answer. It's it's really it's really fun. It's really fun to.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you., I was just wanting to say that I learn as much from my granddaughters as as I teach them And some of them have been hard lessons like grandma little sister Doesn't know all of that yet. You need to give her a break Okay Because I want to say no you need to do this, but I listened to myself and I can't stand it so I have been changing my words too And I think they're the ones that are here to save the world Even though they're under seven years old.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
ABSolutely great And Yes, they remember We were indoctrinated. He was indoctrinated out of us. We're starting to remember, but these young ones coming through We don't have to teach them. They're already at the frequency. They already know they knowing is already in place.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
Yeah, it's wonderful. It's so beautiful to see when I sit back and breathe And it's a challenge, but But other times it's just so wonderful and peaceful. We spent three hours at the park the other day Getting sunburnt but That's off the fun. We played we played everything and reading Mary Poppins to them has been wonderful So if you don't have grandchildren of your own,, find somebody who does Read to them It's the community it's a community. We've all got to join it Well,, there was something you wanted to share with listeners about a guidebook that you've put together.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
Oh, yes. Well, it's, it is a work in progress. It's almost finished. It's probably 95 I have been collaborating internationally with, Beautiful,, super and Men and women who were at the stage where they just were not happy with what was going on in with curriculum in Around the world And so we started deciding what can we do about this And what can we share and what can we contribute? And it just was an innocent collaboration. So if we had people from New Zealand Australia, Canada, America, South Africa SpAIn And just no one's getting pAId anything but just contributing their knowledge Their perspectives and we it turned into Something which we've called the living learning guide And it's not a how-to It's not a you must do.

It's simply something that's an inspiration and it It's pretty much just shares pathways and it encourages individuals communities families parents to reconnect to natural wisdom And they're in annoying of course because it's definitely out of head into heart space. So it's in alignment with community values Practical skills, you know, let's go back to the basics of what's actually needed strengthening local connections Cultivating skills that are need to thrive in everyday life. So that's sort of where it's at But we've got all sorts of it's turning to like 500 pages And we're in the editing phases and this Document will be is shared for the world. It's not for sale.

It's for free We you know, some people if they feel like they need to do an energetic exchange could possibly, give a small donation, but that donation will go strAIght back into the project which is building Education resources for the world basically, but it will be given Out freely, but it's got chapters on things like how do we learn And this Well and truly aligns with lessons that q has given us, ron amitron, you know, you think about all of these beautiful people who have been here teaching us and showing us the way Lighting the way will have embedded and threaded a lot of those learnings into this guide How can we teach and mentor without stepping all over people's subpersonal sovereignty?

Which is exactly what teachers are trAIned to do to step all over your sovereignty and so that I remember crying, I was devastated when I had that realization that's what I was actually doing and I didn't know So it's but then it was a lot of what do I do? How do I do this? I'm still navigating the system I'm still in the system at the time. What do I do about this? So the guide gives guidance for adults who are on this pathway When to teach so fitting in with your circadian rhythm, children don't learn by a timetable by the way If they're tired and cranky, there's nothing you can do about it. What to teach so for the what to teach it's not another or this hey teach math This is how you teach English. This is how you teach English because let's face it Most of what we're actually currently teaching is incorrect.

We don't have the truth It's still coming through in waves, but we need to be able to shift. It's more How can you discern? How do you research? How do you make decisions? Conflict resolution like circle time We've got a whole chapter on know thyself who are you as a whole being not just this physical vessel, it's also the interdimensional space the spiritual space. There is no religion in this whatsoever. There's aBSolutely no indoctrination in here, but it ties into those basics Sheila. You wanted to add something.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
Well, I was going to say it's maybe time to wrap it up for another maybe Last words for the next three or four minutes.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
Yeah, beautiful Okay. Well,, so the guide it it has all of these different skills. It's got whole chapters on practical skills, how to measure progress other than judging someone on a report card So what are alternative ways to measure progress because humans love progress This is part of who we are. We like growth., so what does that look like? and then Lots of different philosophies and acknowledgement. So this will be shared Once it's ready to release. I will share and do a whole podcast on it unpacking it and also then sharing the link with the document if people want access to it and take it and be free but my My final words first of all is grateful that you have Given me this opportunity to share with you today parts of my projects.

This is like one tiny part of my project and what I would like to build but I would just encourage people to have some stillness have some contemplation time make a beautiful cup of tea Go and sit in the sun or your favorite place And just sit and reflect on where you are, you personally and because when you are really in connection and in and communicating openly with yourself You can't communicate openly with anyone if you can't communicate with yourself first So start with yourself because that shifts everything And listen to your body and how it's talking to you when your body smiles and feels expansive That's a yes. That's a oh, that's the direction to go., it's it's really led me in so many amazing ways in the last few years And I can't wAIt to see where it's headed.

Speaker 2 - Sheila:
Wonderful beautiful I agree with you on all of that. I've recently gone through a period of time where I was a little low Things weren't going right. It felt like Let's see. I had a gardening injury and bug bites and all this other stuff and I finally had to say okay, what's going on? Sure enough the answer was go within stop looking outside don't look at all that stuff going on and Just stay inside and the farther you go down inside the more Warm and fuzzy it gets just makes me smile. I love it Arrow do you have any arrow do you have anything to close that?

Speaker 1 - Arrow:
Well, you know, I noticed that we didn't say friday Your shows on BBS Radio.com Fridays at 3 p.m. Central, U.S. time. Although it's not a live show the recordings But your show has all those all that curriculum for for what do you call when you do all the writing and all the Stuff that you that I witnessed on your page when I went to your page.

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
Yeah, I called I just write them articles. I published them on the mAIn bBS weBSite But they get linked to my landing page So there's a years worth of Podcasts and because it's weekly the podcast is every week And articles with activities and so it's like a it's like a living curriculum Because it's living and breathing with whatever seems to feel like it needs to come up right now And that's how I drive it. I don't have a timetable It's just what feels timely and comes through to me And where is my inspiration with my everyday life and conversations like oh, I feel like this is something that is to be talked about And so they're they're all named so people can do the same thing and pick and choose which one they want to go start with ABSolutely. Yes. I wanted it to be as easy as possible for people who are busy.

Speaker 1 - Arrow:
And then you talk about all the different listeners So I'm assuming you have an emAIl address attached to your page if if somebody listening to our show wants to get ahold of you It's on your show page. Yes, they can communicate with me. Yes on the on the on the page BBS Radio full slash All Learning Reimagined. Yep Okay, and then this living learning guide that we're all anticipating and exciting is coming out Maybe September-ish, but how do we find that? Is that just going to be posted on your page or is there another way that we go about getting that?

Speaker 3 - Teresa Songbird:
, I will post it on my page when I'm ready But we're it's going to be shared globally on many different platforms. So we are talking with Quite a few different people. I don't want to sort of drop names because I don't I don't want to go there But there are a lot of people who are in the know with with the future of education. Let's just put it that way, and there are conversations going and this is not a you must do this It's purely a resource that's been built from the heart to help inspire communities on where to I start and it's comes from a practical way of thinking so any parent can pick it up. You don't need to be a teacher, you don't need a piece of paper with a degree you pick it up and go. Oh, I'm interested in that and you can you can take the bite-sized things Into it.

There's so much in there And a lot of it aligns to what I've been talking about on the podcast for the last year. So That's where we're at.

Speaker 1 - Arrow:
Exciting I'm I'm really excited about that and I'm so excited that you joined us for a show today And I've just sat back and just loved this Sheila. I'm gonna let you finish this. You're doing a great job.
