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?

Download this episode (14 min)
In this podcast Peter Bastian introduces Nick Drummond at the May 19 seminar he presented in Copenhagen.

Peter points out "Can you imagine the level of differentiation that Tiger Woods is aware of? Integration at his level means Hole in One. In this incredibly complex area of details he is aware of he is able to make a conclusion and integrate all these details [weather, grass, club, ball, body mind, soul]."

But, "differentiation without higher integration leads to extinction" Peter Bastian points to the need for a vertical perspective in education.

Peter Bastian www.peterbastian.dk has an education in theoretical physics from the University of Copenhagen, and classical bassoon playing by Professor Aage Bredahl at the Royal Danish Conservatory. During the 70's and 80's he was a private student of the conductor and philosopher Sergiu Celibidache.
