Seed + Spark: Using Nature As A Model To Reimagine How We Learn & Live

Following a two-year design expedition in search of the irreducible DNA of a healthy learning environment, panelists Sam Chaltain, Stephanie Pace-Marshall and Trung Le produced Seed + Spark, a highly visual, deeply eclectic book that takes its readers in search of a better understanding of the future of learning -- and, by extension, the future of humanity.

Believing “the future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed,” Seed + Spark provides a framework for remaking our schools, our workspaces, and our social structures in ways that align with the design principles of the natural world. Join us on January 27th to discuss this provocative series of interviews, profiles, and case studies in which sacred cows are slaughtered, parallel worlds collide, and our basic understanding of the world is forever altered.

Notes From Session

SPM: Privilege to be alive in this moment, due to pandemic aware of interdependence with nature, highly intertwined, Trung Lee-architect human construction of space, Sam Challtain-writer, leader, author speech writer to Sec of ED, (Right now Sec of Energy nominee hearing and today Pres Biden will give climate change details in his Week 2 plan) point camera in new place, TED Talk photojournalist human suffering of natural disaster, secret of taking great photo?

Know where to point the camera. Coauthors of a new human story, point at the places currently unseen, can’t see must name/confront the current story to write a new story, 21 lessons for the 21st Century, #1 Q: Humankind facing unprecedented revolutions, not new story to replace them, Prepared for transformations for surviving/skills/understanding/navigating maze of life? Best to fit what we see as broken developing tools for fixing, but rather reweaving what is torn/frayed needs to be healed. We do not yet have these tools, Story we tell, Mindshaping
