Ida is a Balinese priestess who, as a teenager, emerged from a near-death experience channeling mudras and speaking several ancient languages - none of which she'd had any prior experience with. This extraordinary woman then went on to be named High Priestess of Bali on her twenty-first birthday. To date, she is the youngest woman to hold the post, with her predecessors averaging 60-70...]]></description><link>https://www.sacredschooling.com/post/ida-resi-alit</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3df0aa2fc018f1f97c3713</guid><category><![CDATA[Healing]]></category><category><![CDATA[Women's Health]]></category><category><![CDATA[Teachers]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 13 Mar 2018 16:30:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2f8a1f_4f43024ceb04444ca7d3c7ef10a60bee~mv2_d_4032_3024_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Bronwyn Ayla</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unschooling Nymue]]></title><description><![CDATA[I am experimenting with an unschooling path for Nymue. Unschooling is based on a philosophy that purports that when we trust in our children's innate curiosity for life, they will flourish in a constant state of learning. The path offers children the space to explore the world around them for themselves in accordance with the form and pace that feel appropriate to them.  In his book, Learning All the Time, John Holt (who coined the term "unschooling") writes: Children, without being coerced...]]></description><link>https://www.sacredschooling.com/post/unschooling</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3df0aa2fc018f1f97c3755</guid><category><![CDATA[Unschooling]]></category><category><![CDATA[Healing]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 21 Feb 2018 18:17:44 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2f8a1f_8a03d4e730224e47a6b7b1a6aab417c1~mv2_d_3877_2667_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Bronwyn Ayla</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Burning Man 2017]]></title><description><![CDATA[I'm slowly integrating an unforgettable adventure - an incredible opportunity to surrender to what is, emanate love, and embrace the unexpected as a path of transformation.

Soon after, the battery on my camper van died, my generator broke, and the propane tank leaked.   Then to top it off, Nymue's babysitter didn't show up until the day before we left.

When she sees the tables set up she often asks me to put needles in her- even indicating to me where she wants me to put the needles. I appreciate her clarity of knowing what she wants: when to put the needles in, when to take them out, and where she wants them put. This intuitive and effortless wisdom is something I aspire to in my own life and practice.  Marion Rosen used to talk about this as well. She said in earlier years of teaching she...]]></description><link>https://www.sacredschooling.com/post/2015/07/11/nymue-acupuncture-and-the-tao</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3df0ab2fc018f1f97c37dd</guid><category><![CDATA[Healing]]></category><category><![CDATA[Unschooling]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 12 Jul 2015 00:51:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fde30c_73e966508af74586a3f63c4f72ce07b8~mv2_d_3264_2448_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Bronwyn Ayla</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cultivating Wildness]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the biggest sources of dis-ease I see in my practice comes from people not listening to their inner truth and conforming to how external sources tell them they “should” be feeling or behaving.
