Nordic Integral Education

(THIS SITE IS NOW TRANSFERRING TO http://nordicintegral.thoughtlead.com/ )In these podcasts I inquire into the moral, ethical, philosophical and spiritual context fundamental to leadership in education today and tomorrow - from preschool and up - highlighting case studies from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, USA, Canada, Australia and UK. These calls are inspired by the model IT'S YOUR CHOICE! Important themes on the podcasts and Tuesday Conference Calls on Education are: What does it mean to be a teacher/leader in our time in history? What role can education play as a vehicle for catalyzing development at the level of consciousness and culture both in and outside of a classroom? What does the expression of higher and deeper values and expressions of inclusiveness, meaning and purpose look like between teachers and students?

Releasing a forest fire of passion in Sweden

Download this episode (12 min)
In this episode Mats Edin talks with Nick Drummond about some recent experiences pointing to the fact that there is nothing in the way of an explosive and passionate stand for a new moral consciousness in Swedish culture. This passion is deeply connected to meaning and purpose and the lack of it we see in schools and throughout the Swedish culture. This passionate fire to stand for something, last seen in the seventies, has been dead for decades. Releasing it now goes radically against the status quo Swedish nature to be passionate about anything greater, higher, deeper, purposeful, meaningful, developmental, goal orientated and Life positive. When we don't express these qualities as ourselves then there is nothing to meet with and we cannot come together to care about anything. Seen from a perspective of what is possible, stopping it is literally an evil act of violence. To do the opposite is based on aligning ourselves with a literally uncontrollable vertical and evolutionary impulse and passion to come together to create and be seriously responsible for the new, higher and deeper cultural values we release, express and create together.
