Brook's notes on Teaching in the Reclaiming Tradition

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I seek to help create a space inside of which students can seek their empowerment. I prefer to think of myself as a facilitator rather than as a teacher. My facilitation focuses upon experiential learning and reflection. Any information that I bring to classes is secondary to each student's experience.

I consider myself a descendant of the "cunning man" tradition; I love the transformational magic inherent in cooking, gardening, and in the other mundane tasks of living. I prefer working with simple, practical magic. I also weave my moment to moment practice of mindfulness into my work. For me, practicing the Craft of the Wise in the Reclaiming tradition is a great gift that we, the participants in any class, give to each other.

In my teaching, I try to weave the main focuses of my life work together: the practice of awareness and presence, making music, tarot, and my attempts to acknowledge the sacred in every step that I take.
