Is ceremony a grave affair for adults, or can it be something playful which includes children?

Or perhaps all of the above? Playful with adults, serious with children, and a mix of all these and more.

Have you ever wished that education could be a ship that can be sailed in any direction you choose? That learning practical subjects can be blended with a spirituality that is life-nourishing and open to questioning and play?

What if someone wants to play, but finds it oddly challenging to let go?

Jennifer Engracio is an educator and shamanic practitioner. She walks many paths and blends many influences, including homeschooling and an earthy spirituality.

She began in the public school system in Canada, but found the values incompatible with hers. Gradually she made her way into more unconventional fields, as we’ll discover.

She explores the intersection of play, education and ceremony. It’s a rich vein, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing, praying, crying and teaching as you listen along.

I’ll see you on the inside.
