Hello to ALL the CHILDREN HERE and NOW
BIG and small ;)
We have RE-started our Natural Learning Adventures and more that ever it is crystal clear to me that we 100% can TRUST our children to take charge of their own LEARNING RHYTHM!
Yes they do need our support and reflections since we are their loving guides, but they do not need SCHOOLS to be the only possibility which ensures that they will learn.....
Children and ourselves learn best once our NATURAL INTELLIGENCE is stimulated.... and how do we stimulate our Natural Intelligence?
Through PLAY and ONLY through PLAY - ANY Activity can be PLAY depending on our Relationship !
One can play the piano or practice which means work.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge" said Einstein
So lets support ourselves to regain this TRUST, go into your Imagination - just follow your Children;) and BE the CREATOR of LIFE!
I just updated some Reflections of the Adventures we have made in the past 4 months.... the documentations will serve us to reflect about the Synchronicity our CHILDREN are naturally IN! We are able to clearly SEE in the REVIEW of HOW they are in TUNE with the MAYAN CALENDAR Energies. the Moon and the Stars and HOW beautifully THEY design the UNIQUE LEARNING Rhythm...
For the ONES who are not my FRIENDS in FB yet, welcome to connect with me http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=106729434144#/dariyahereandnow?ref=name
In fact I would love to add you ALL on my NEWSLETTER email account, so if you could simply send me an email:
dariya@healinghereandnow.com
with "children news" in the subject....
Stay connected
For the EVOLUTION
For the CHILDREN of this planet

The Re-ENERGIZE Plan
Hello parents
welcome to the CHILDREN HERE and NOW re-energize PLAN!
welcome to the CHILDREN HERE and NOW re-energize PLAN!
To make CHILDREN HERE and NOW a TRANSFORMING place for everyone, the following re-energizing PLAN will support and intends to EVOLVE the Project from many different angles!
What we want to make “We learn together” a COMMUNITY Project are PARENTS committed to 4 days ACTIVE creative PARTICIPATION per month!
We are evaluating our project with our VISION and MISSION Statement!

http://childrenhereandnow.blogspot.com/2009/09/in-vision-and-mission-statement.html
To manifest CHILDREN HERE and NOW we created the following RE-ENERGIZE Plan for the project:
'Static FEES' of 4.000 INR per child and month
In the HERE and NOW 2009 - 2010 we recieved from every parent was 3.000 INR per month :)
This amount is payable with MONEY!
Additional to the static fees there are
‘Virtual FEES’ of 5.000 INR per child and month
This amount can be re-energized for your family through ACTIVE PARTICIPATION!
1 Day participation = 500 INR less
2 Day participation = 1.000 INR less
3 Day participation = 1.500 INR less
4 Day participation = 2.000 INR less
TOTAL = 5.000 INR less per month

3 Day participation = 1.500 INR less
4 Day participation = 2.000 INR less
TOTAL = 5.000 INR less per month
There has been one parent which was exploring the RE-Energize plan in CHILDREN HERE and NOW 2009 - 2010!
For the coming season 2010 - 2011 we through the RE-ENERGIZE plan over board!
The VISION is to shift to DONATION.......:) keep you updated!
If Energy hasn’t been manifested as ACTIVE Participation the virtual money transforms into REAL Money which your family will PAY!
We truly do want as LESS MONEY as POSSIBLE!
On the other side I would like to have our project available to Children who parents might not be able to give the entire time commitment….so the Re-energizing of those will have to happen on the level of Virtual Money!

It makes the day a very relaxed and "natural in time" learning experience and I would like to continue this rhythm during the season…. Here we need a reality check of the organization…..
During their time at CHILDREN HERE and NOW on “the Land” in Assagao, the children of ALL age groups are in ONE Space together -

--- Baking Schokobread
----- What we need everybody finds ingredients
------ Egg how to see if Egg is raw or cooked
------ How to see if Egg is rotten
------Activate Yeast wait and patients
--- Ball play outside
2nd step making the dough
Mix all together and work out the dough with the hand (after they where WASHED!)
Interestingly not every child felt comfortable in putting the hand in the sticky dough at first… but after some time the 1rst group ha enough and went for cleaning the hand….so the 2nd group took the chance to explore the matter!
I completed the dough so the texture was right to continue and we ha TO BE PATIENT again:
They soooo much wanted to eat the Schoko Bread!
Snack time together – that always the BEST moment, since their discussions are revealing a lot about what is happening in life….
Then we got into ACTION the dough had grown and was pretty heavy everyone had a weight… we rolled it into a snake and they ha to count into how many pieces we ha to divide the dough that all have an equally BIG piece to form their Schokobread!
Each told their favorite number from 1-8 and I marked the No. on the back of the dough so each ha to recognize his number and piece of dough…
We had the choice of DARK Chocolate and WHITE Chocolate…how come they ask…could not give the anwer, but another thing to figure out….
Each made his/her own free style Bread with LOTS of Schoko in Black and white
Once done, the only question until it was baked was: WHEN can we eat our SchokoBread?”
The patience training of the ay was a tough one,
Some even pretended not to be hungry when we had lunch in between!
The day in between the projects was a BLACK MOON Battling day..
Even till the extend that Raman received a slap in the Face from Zorah!
After that storm we ha a great clarifying CIRCLE GATHERING with All the kids…
Each had his own time to bring his/her point of view about the conflicts which were and anyway are ongoing….
We agreed that hitting each other does not support in finding solutions and that no one actually LIKES being HIT.. it hurts!
We agreed to write a list of rules own for CHILDREN HERE and NOW to which we ALL going to stick to!
It was a BIG saying SORRY from both sides Raman and Zorah…
Then FINALLY after 2 hours ALL the Breads were ready…AND …...they jumped on them!
We completed the day with this yummy Tea Time!

---- Protect______ Protect the sea.
· Free play until lunch Preparation
· Today how to make a Chicken Schnknel’(sorry vegans)
Along with that Story time I shared a story about my childhood….
They loved it and also they loved the Chicken Schnitzel – have hardly ever seeing them eating sooooooo much
· After lunch they free played ALL together and out of that we created the most funniest ‘Theatre……….
All naturally improvised and I wished we would have had the whole World as audience …….. They played Family
It was ALL there, the meeting, the wedding, the building home, the natural birth, the baby……..
The collapse of the house on the father- the reanimation of the doctor and the Happy End
Following we decided to improvise a REAL Theatre Wedding”- with make-up, costumes, stage deco music and DJ….. we had soooo much fun
Everyone was so TOTAL in his role – yet when it came to the moment where the audience (others!) arrived it collapsed….
The Groom (Roman escaped – the Bride (zorah) got embarrassed –
Conclusion: For theater we need the presents of all the Actors backstage otherwise…..NO SHOW

· Free play until lunch Preparation
· Today how to make a Chicken Schnknel’(sorry vegans)
Along with that Story time I shared a story about my childhood….
They loved it and also they loved the Chicken Schnitzel – have hardly ever seeing them eating sooooooo much
· After lunch they free played ALL together and out of that we created the most funniest ‘Theatre……….
All naturally improvised and I wished we would have had the whole World as audience …….. They played Family
It was ALL there, the meeting, the wedding, the building home, the natural birth, the baby……..
The collapse of the house on the father- the reanimation of the doctor and the Happy End
Following we decided to improvise a REAL Theatre Wedding”- with make-up, costumes, stage deco music and DJ….. we had soooo much fun
Everyone was so TOTAL in his role – yet when it came to the moment where the audience (others!) arrived it collapsed….
The Groom (Roman escaped – the Bride (zorah) got embarrassed –
Conclusion: For theater we need the presents of all the Actors backstage otherwise…..NO SHOW

The disappoint was BIG this morning when we arrived on the land and saw that our REAL LIFE SPIDER Observatory had been victim of the BATS !
The Spider was the size of two adult hands – bringing the Middle finger and thumb together…it was a BIG loss and showed us the way nature works…
We started with a circle and sang the ELEMENT SONG (earth my body – water my blood – air my breath – fire my spirit)
Allisson started with Yoga it came up to 1 hour rounded with another CIRCLE Gathering and AUM-ing
Today they flew on the MOON…..
And everyone in his own way joined in!
Raman did Yoga ON the table….
After the adventure we took STAR CARDS and invited all to make a drawing of the journey….(B) and (M) painted butterflies..
(M) and (S) went coloring animals ….they love it!
Together SNACK
Since they journey to the moon included a flight in a HOT AIR BALLON….
We took the chance to make one out of paper napkins….
It was quite a tricky sticky process but with the help of everyone WATCHING me…I did it!
(B) we explored the Temperature Scale of CELCIUS
Water to ICE at 0 degree C
Water evaporates at 100 degree C
Image on blackboard an exploration about different temperatures in different countries

FLYING Classroom at Tara & Ramans House with ALL
DUSSHERA
We read the story of Ram and Sita and talk about light overcoming Darkness
Feeling loving winning over feeling angry! Victory(and argue whether hanuman in mortal or immortal – but agree he’s a great Hero!)
Tara & Kalen practiced reading taking turns on pages” are you my mother?” While Zorah Raman & Kiyara practice drawing “m” on the Whiteboard. We write out all the M words together then Zorah Raman & Kiyara read with Sandra while Kalen & Tara review vowel blends and write out “ee” and “or” and practice the ee and or donkey sounds – then we explore the vowel blend “ea” making the same sound as “ee” and write/read all the words we can think of! (will follow with “or”) Half way thru vowels. We write out the 6+8 times tables in dots and count each group (Kalen & Tara)
Then we put on the times tables CD and they all danced around! Singing the times tables – even the little ones!
After lunch all playing with all Ramans birthday presents and making experiments with the microscope (next lesson) discussing + reading Search for the 7 sisters – places in the world.
