Setting Foundations for

Inclusion

Nonviolence

Kreative-Compassion

Inclusion builds self-worth, trust and friendship.

Nonviolence creates trust, empowered self-perception, and respect.

Kreative-Compassion acknowledges children must experience compassion to cognitively and concretely understand the power of compassion. 

Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference. When a child experiences compassionate understanding for oneself, they are given a concrete experiential foundation for developing empathy toward others. When a child experiences empathy for oneself, they become connected to their own self-worth and can see another's self-worth. 

Vision creates individual and collective direction for children to see the potential in everything they do. Vision is based in imagination and wisdom. Vision supports the ability to think and plan for the future. Vision creates a link between the spirit, mind and heart, thereby building a path to an individual's life purpose. 

Integrity develops honesty, self-awareness and positive relationships. Integrity as a core value of Self and action guides children toward unlimited futures. Through integrity, the Self creates its own foundation and standard for positive relationships, and values truth as its cornerstone to action for both self and others. Integrity as a cornerstone of teaching, ensures each child is seen as whole and undivided.

Listening is a cornerstone to understanding the mechanics of knowledge, and how awareness, consciousness, realization, cognition and perception can support the 'Whole Self'. To Listen is to give attention to sound, observation, reality and action. When we truly listen to children, they in turn learn to listen. Developing the skill of listening allows for deeper cognition processes toward understanding, comprehension and knowledge of oneself and the created world. Listening leads to wisdom.

Awareness empowers the child to understand their own unique personality and individuality within the realm of feeling, thought, action and being. Awareness builds and encourages positive self-esteem because it accepts every feeling, thought and action as both spiritual and transformative. 

Giving is an act of inclusion; it builds bridges from one heart to another. Giving connects children to each other, the community and the World. Giving nourishes and enriches the heart of the child toward the Dream of Peace on our planet, for we are all connected and supported through the shared experience of life.  

Inclusion is fundamental to building a foundation of trust and relationship. A child must know they are equal in love and respect to every other child before they can truly thrive and learn to the best of their natural and inherent abilities. A child that belongs is a child that knows peace and protection.

Nonviolence in thought, action, words and feeling must be modeled first if a child is to understand nonviolence. Therefore, a child must experience nonviolence in thought, action and speech in order to concretely understand nonviolence. Through nonviolence the qualities inherent in each child can reach their fullest potential because the crippling effects of violence on the Whole Child, their self-esteem, belief and dreams cannot corrupt the healthy identity, or diminish the connection to the psyche-that Higher Self and Creative-Spirit.

Kreative-Compassion recognizes children as co-creators in our human experience and evolution. Therefore, every child has the right to question, define and establish the healthy boundaries of their personal and collective environments. This prerequisite creates an experiential learning model for children to experience compassion directly. If we do not care for them and respect their own personal boundaries, then how do they learn to respect and care for others. Therefore, a child's words and actions are not taken personally, but are received as signals to understand a child's physical, emotional and physiological state and well-being. With this first observation a window of opportunity is given for Kreative-thinking to intuit and lead to creative and heart-based solutions. 

Kreative-Thinking encourages every child to value their own ideas and offer their innate knowledge to the Circle. Kreative-thinking allows children opportunities to find solutions based on their experience, understanding and imagination. When children learn in an environment of love, kindness and compassion; the drive to compete and be right diminishes and partnerships begin; ideas are shared and solutions discovered. With a well of diverse ideas and perspectives, the collective well-being for all children is possible and the creative potential existing in every child will have its opportunity to manifest, grow and thrive.

Kreative-Thinking allows for the process of instinctual and intuitive knowledge to guide the child toward greater understanding of the Self and collective world. Kreative thinking allows for unconscious cognition; inner sensing; inner insight; unconscious pattern-recognition; and the ability to understand something without the need for conscious reasoning, or concrete experience. Kreative-thinking accesses deeper levels of self-awareness and opens the mind to greater understanding of Self and potential and the interconnectedness of all life.

Kreative-thinking opens the mind and heart and allows the unlimited universal knowledge and potential to manifest into awareness. 

Kreative-thinking supports Kreative-compassion by recognizing the path to transforming a collective conscious society based on greed and competition is directly dependent on changing the collective conscious paradigm. Therefore, Kreative- thinking leads to critical thinking, which in turn can transform outdated collective conscious paradigms that continue to produce inequality, poverty and war.

Emotional Well-Being creates positive experiences and interpersonal skill. Emotional well-being creates space in the heart to become Self-Aware and Self-Loved. Emotionally present children who know and feel their self-worth are aware of their own feelings and reactions and can better regulate their emotions and reactions. Therefore, children need people who are present to their own well-being. For children, this self-awareness builds self-esteem and self-confidence in the individual between peers and the collective of humanity. It allows the child to be open to learning and new experiences, because learning is a creative experience based in respect and safety. A child open to learning loves to learn. A child who loves to learn will find their creative-potential and expression in the world. 

When children are allowed to be themselves, they become happy. When children are happy, their hearts grow strong, and they remember to breathe. When children breathe, the heart and mind rest, and it is in this space we learn to observe before reacting. In this open-hearted space the higher mind is able to guide and empower the child to their inherent self-worth, identity, and place in time. From this whole place the mind becomes integrated with the heart, and the heart becomes the seat of self-identity and awareness. An open heart supports mindfulness and goodness. 

Love and peace must support the heart of every child. A child connected to their heart is a child full of creative power. A child connected to their creative power and heart can always find the truth that leads to peace, and the emotional well-being of others.

Learning from the heart empowers children to know they are a vital and important part of creation and this reality we call life. When children learn through kindness and respect, they are empowered to learn without limitations of negative energies affecting their ability to process information and develop understanding. The unknown and unbelievable then becomes the unlimited potential for creative experiences that support self-development, critical and inter-dependent thinking and healthy relationships. Learning from the heart builds foundations for trust. Relationships based in trust allow children to learn without fear of failure, limitation, intimidation, criticism or indifference. Learning from the heart awakens creative potential and inherent gifts.

Empowerment as a right recognizes the role of children in their own lives and acknowledges the need for their strengths, qualities, abilities, dreams and aspirations to be respected and supported. When we empower children with opportunities to move beyond resistance, fear, diminishing thoughts or beliefs, we empower them to meet their present and future paths with confidences and an open-hearted-minded attitude. Empowered children believe in their own ability to grow and change from moment to moment. When we empower children, we give them the skills to be the best that they can be and not be afraid to to be their genuine selves. Empowering children with positive, constructive and self-motivated directions will support each child’s strengths and unique personality; it builds self-awareness and self-esteem within the child and so creates opportunity for positive behavior and relationships. From this secure and honest place, children will have the courage to acknowledge their own challenges and find positive ways to transform behavior and perception. They will not be afraid to ask for help or feel incompetent to help others. An empowered child can see beyond hate, greed and fear, because their own foundation is built on the confidence of knowing they matter. Empowered children have the power to transform the World. Empowered children recognize each other as co-creators for the future.

Inclusion is the foundation of friendship. It begins with the understanding everyone is welcome at the circle and within the circle. A Circle is not complete when even one child is left out, and their place in the Circle is at the center. This understanding belongs to Sacred Awareness. When we model inclusion and create experiences for children to learn inclusion, they concretely learn they are equal to each other; competition naturally ceases and the genuine art of supporting each other begins. In other words, a child is not afraid to win or lose when they know they are part of the whole group and are confident their words, actions or feelings have relevance in the whole collective experience; meaning every act of success or failure leads to greater understanding, knowledge, experience and ability of the individual and the collective.

Inclusion creates the relationship of trust and helps to establish those healthy boundaries that have their positive role in the spectrum of learning, development and mutual respect. As well, inclusion is part of the extended communities’ responsibility to ensure all children’s needs are provided for. With this understanding the world surrounding children will feel and become safe, because by experiencing inclusion for themselves and witnessing inclusion for their peers, they learn they are at the heart of their own welfare, the community and the World.  

Nonviolence builds trust and respect. A child that grows up without violence is a child that has lived Peace. A child that has lived peace understands the difference between peace and war. Any act of violence is an act of war. War is created to engage terror. Terror is engaged to control or destroy another’s right to self-governance and sovereignty. Therefore, a child must experience peace before they can understand the power of peace and the choice of non-violence. A child that grows up in peace is not afraid to speak, act, feel, test or discover their boundaries. When a child lives with peace, a child lives in the Heart. When a child lives from the heart, a child is not afraid. When a child is not afraid, they can learn, listen and act from their individual spirit to its greatest potential.  

Nonviolence allows the minds, hearts and bodies of children to grow the way they are meant to grow. When children grow up in nonviolent environments their brains are not hard-wired to stress, and the positive connections made between the neurotransmitters and the neurotransmitter receptors builds resiliency for future stress factors. This non-violence must include the right to grow and learn within the natural bodies they have been given without confusion of genders, indoctrination of adult sexual orientations, or labels. Children are whole and complete; they do not need to be questioned to who they are or think themselves to be, or not to be. They already are who they are. The stage of puberty can bring natural questions of identity, confusion, and wanted experience; however, it is paramount teachers recognize they are not the parent, and their own sexual identities are not theirs to teach without the direct permission of the parent, the rightful spiritual guardians of the children in their classroom.

Non-violence is connected to Sacred Law. Sacred Law is connected to Love. Therefore, every child must be protected and given the right to be who they are without the influence of a teacher's personal adult ideologies, perceptions or sexual orientations. To believe it is acceptable to block a child's sacred passage of puberty, that process of rapid brain development, and a complete rewiring of the brain until the age of 25 years, is a corruption of such magnitude, it is hard to understand how we as a society have come to this place where it is acceptable to cut off the very parts of anatomy that ensure life and procreation. A child must go through the natural process of puberty to ensure the brain fully develops and integrates with the developing body and mature Self- that Whole Self of Body, Mind and Spirit. Non-violence demands the action of adults who understand this Sacred Law. 

Non-violence understands all children must be protected from any action, thought or belief that determines a child is not already whole, perfect and beautiful. Non-violence understands all children must be protected from any action, thought or belief that would undermine and corrupt the whole, perfect and beautiful Child/Youth/Self. Our sexual natures take time to come into consciousness, develop awareness, understand the self's expression, integrate into the Whole-Self-identity, and know the clear boundaries between adults, youth and children. Therefore, non-violence must extend into the classroom, where the teacher must understand their own sexual orientations do not belong in the classroom with young children. Without this understanding there are no clear boundaries between the teacher and child who does not belong to them, but their parents. The science of life, procreation and emerging sexual expression is not in question here; it is the cognitive readiness of children to understand concepts that would change their bodies irreversibly, make them dependent on drugs for a lifetime, and lend confusion to their own young identities. If a child grows, develops and learns in an environment of love, safety, respect and individual expression, they will naturally develop compassion, empathy and acceptance of their peers and their own unique expressions. This foundation will lead them through the stages of puberty that are connected to the emerging sexual nature, and the call to species perpetuation. There is a clear distinction between sensuality and sexuality. It is important for the adult to understand this distinction and the parallel to a child's cognitive comprehension, physical development, and growing curiosity toward sexual maturity. 

We live in societies that do not understand the clear boundaries between adult sexual activity and children. This dark side of human corruption is so prevalent within our societies, that until this is corrected and children know how to protect themselves, there are few adults who can address the subjects of sexuality and identity with children. If a teacher believes they have the right to teach sexual orientation to children in the classroom, then that teacher must be able to talk to the parents about their own childhood experiences of emerging sexuality, being molested, or raped, or being the initiator of sexual relations with their peers as children and youth. With out this candid ability to speak openly and honestly, the teacher/facilitator is not emotionally ready, nor spiritually mature to speak with youth. If a teacher cannot openly talk to the child's parents about these SOGI topics, then there is an underlying nefarious agenda in the educational system. Children should be taught how to protect themselves from violence and the acts of corrupted individuals first as a foundation to the emerging sexual identity, before adult concepts of adult sexual identity and orientation are presented. Without clear boundaries of safety and respect being understood, children are easily directed, influenced and coerced into sexual orientations and behaviors they are not fully mature enough to understand, nor handle. From every corner of the world our children are sexually exploited and tortured. This is a corruption few are willing to address, while millions of innocent children are bought, sold, traded and murdered. Let us protect children first, before telling them who we like to share our beds with, in our sexual acts. 

Nonviolence gives children concrete experiences to help them measure the value of their relations and the affects those relationships have to their own health and welfare and that of others. All Experiences and challenges affect behavioral responses to mental, physical and environmental health. Fear that is activated from continual acts of violence is destructive to every aspect of the child’s whole development; whereas in contrast, the neurotransmitter receptors that are activated and linked through natural causes to fear, such as walking to close to the edge of a precipice, seeing a wild animal, almost getting hit by a car, are purposeful and help to develop the arts of spatial ability, survival and safety. Therefore, children must experience adventure and learning in positive environments that promote self-awareness, autonomy and free-will; understanding what it means to grow up in a non-violent environment that respects their sovereignty to be who they are in their own unique ever-changing expression. This act of non-violence will lead the young adult to not only believe in possibilities, but know they are already complete, even as they meet the power of their hormones activating their emerging sexual drives. Through science, biology, and metaphysical understanding of our inherent individuality and collective reality, children can grow in knowledge of themselves and others. They will understand the boundaries of respect and safety, and the right of all to be loved and to love who they love. Kindness and compassion are at the core of non-violence. By learning respect for each other in body, mind and spirit, all children will grow toward their true natures, expressions and gifts. Non-violence is the foundation of Kreative-Compassion.

Kreative-Compassion builds self-acceptance for oneself and for others. Kreative-compassion recognizes children have the right to express their dissatisfaction with the adult and world on their own terms. With the understanding respect and kindness have already been established as the foundation to relationship, children and youth are given opportunities to express themselves. Through this opportunity to be genuine to their innate nature and perspective, children learn cause and effect through expressing their true feelings. When children have learning experiences that validate their true feelings and role in their personal and collective development, their feelings have a safe place to be expressed and acknowledged; and in turn their hearts and minds remain open and receptive to listen, learn, feel and act. The models for healthy communication are established by the teacher/adult first through their calm reactions, thoughtful applications of knowledge and experience, understanding of sacred boundaries and positive empowerment., and their own self-worth and free-will. When the adult/teacher is grounded in their own self-worth and peaceful confidence, the concrete cognitive and emotional experiences necessary for compassion to become actualized in the child are given as living examples for the child to draw experience and understanding from. 

Children who experience kreative-compassion are given the tools to develop empathy. When their own pain and suffering is acknowledged and supported toward healing and fortitude, they learn how to breathe both literally and metaphorically. In other words, children learn how to accept themselves and each other when the teacher/parent/facilitator fully accepts them and all their parts. Even the part of the nature that expresses violence, must be acknowledged before it can find it's correct place within the Whole-Self. From this sacred space of acceptance, sympathy and empathy become contemplative, and children are able to become active participants to finding solutions for oneself and another’s pain and suffering. When children are given the opportunity to develop and learn through observation and experiences based in mindful and heart-based direction and activities, they grow and learn to their fullest potential. And it becomes easy for them to care and act on behalf of another being’s welfare. 

Kreative-compassion is rooted in LOVE.
