Children's Holistic Development
We believe a great education begins with Story, Myth, Legend, Fable and Saga surge through our lives with every inhalation. How can we contribute to the needs of the future without remembering the wisdom collected from two-hundred thousand years of walkabout? Through affirming old tales and weaving their matrices, a spontaneous plethora of madrigals are ignited into being, half remembered, half newly conceived as the individual breathes them into new life. From story, relevance is gained so that information has a home with a warm fire and a feast to welcome it into our memory instead of the modern disconnected bits and bytes that can never bite even a bit being numb data tasting only of static.
An ecosystem without roots and organic matter erodes quickly and dries fast, going dormant. Learning is as important as water, we need it to survive, to stay mindful. Originateve aims to grow a forest of allusions to the rich literature we come from so the liquid learning has humus to absorb it and roots to draw forth new branches. This is accomplished through a patchwork of storytelling that each wrap their tendrils around different highlights to accentuate various specific skills from a spectrum of disciplines.
For example, we might use the old Chinese folk tale about “Four Dragons.” This story touches on compassion, loyalty and stewardship of the natural world, psychology of rulers, empathy and duty of the citizen, all while imparting the geographical element of China's four major rivers: the Long, Pearl, Yellow and Black.
