Welcome
Wisdom from Nature - Professional Development Opportunities 2016
One who works with Nature Teacher concepts understands, that to work with nature is to know how to work harmoniously with the cycles & rhythms of the universe. Learning to recognise and interpret cycles of the stars, the moon and the sun is like learning to use a GPS to find our way to knew places when
driving.
|  |
|
These circular cycles move within cycles and so cue nature to continue to create her incredible pattern from seed in the ground to flourishing flower to seed in the ground.
Summer is the season which celebrates the sun, blue sky, and playful times in the water. In our world the endless hours at the beach playing in the pohutukawa trees, at home the flourishing wild flowers, copious fruits, colourful vegetables, whilst watching animals celebrating the joys and ease of life which the summer sun shares.

Sustain
These rhythms and cyclic patterns performed by nature have been able to sustain themselves from the beginning of time.
Take the origin of the New Zealand Kauri tree, 190 million years old. This mighty lord of the forest, Tane Mahuta, is a master of sustainability.
Sustain is our word for our January update. To sustain, and make sustainable are common words used in today's age, as we consider our realtionship to the earth and the effect of our actions upon her.
|
Now at the beginning of a new cycle in the gregorian calendar year, it is a good time to be asking how am I to sustain myself in the coming year.
How am I to sustain my balance and my upward growth in 2016, just as a forest sustains balance and growth.
Sustainability starts with self (It does not just relate to the waste management system) Understanding and practising Self care is the secret. It is only when we have ‘mastered’ self care to some degree that we can then become truly available to assist others and our children.
Our work at NaturePlay NZ provides you the teacher, parent and caregiver, (the one who assists others) the necessary wisdom and tools to ensure you are able to sustain the work you are doing with our youngest members of the tribe. Connecting Children with Nature is vital.
The work you do individually and collectively to ensure children connect with nature must be sustainable.
Check out the treasures we have for you to sustain and support you
personally and professionally in 2016:
