"Giving children a space of love, and a trusting environment to explore from is some of the most sacred work we can do. I want to prepare Nymue to live an extraordinary life - to do what it is she came here to do, to enjoy the incredible opportunity of being alive, to be kind and embodied. I want her to have the opportunity to shape herself into herself."
- Bronwyn 

What is UnSchooling?

Unschooling is based on a philosophy that when we trust in our children's innate curiosity for life, they will flourish in a constant state of learning. The path offers children the space to explore the world around them for themselves in accordance with the form and pace that feel appropriate to them.

 

Children are capable of learning much like adults and babies. We read books based on what is interesting to us in the moment and depending on what is happening in our lives. Children are equally as capable of learning with an emergent curriculum. They do not need to be coerced, or put in specially curated environments, or have their thinking planned and ordered for them in order to learn.

World schooling is a process of exposing children to many languages, cultures, and nature for learning in an environment of diversity. It usually involves traveling and living in a wide array of places.

 

Sacred schooling, a term I coined, is about holding daily rituals, life, our bodies, the environment, and connection as sacred. What makes something sacred is the way we relate to it and hold it. Anything can become sacred by the quality of attention we give it. 

 

My prayer is that by stewarding the next generation of wisdom keepers to hold life as sacred the more they will be able to cultivate right relationship with the environment, animals, nature, the seasons, and each other.

She interweaves Axis Syllabus, contact improvisation, mindfulness, and somatic awareness into her unique approach to the art of movement. She draws on her extensive training in anatomy, developmental movement, Chinese medicine, Body-Mind Centering, circus arts, body psychotherapy, yoga, and Continuum. Inherent in her philosophy is the inseparable relationship between healing and dance. The marriage of these serves as a vehicle for the empowerment of ourselves and the nourishment of our destiny. Besides holding seminars and retreats Bronwyn runs her Holistic Medical Arts Clinic in Berkeley, CA where she treats people with a combination of acupuncture, plant medicine, ritual, Rosen Method Bodywork, Reiki, and nutrition.

Pregnant Contact Improvisation

Read more One of the biggest sources disconnect I see in my practice comes from women not listening to their inner truth but rather conforming to how external sources tell them they “should” be feeling or behaving. In my process of preparing to give birth I received endless – and often conflicting – recommendations that led me to question which advice to trust. An antidote to this is to return again and again to the wisdom of listening and responding to the impulses of our bodies. To develop self-trust we need to let go of outside authority, tune into what is happening in our systems, and invite our organisms to speak with us. When the ideas of the neo-cortex become an aristocracy over the directly felt-sense of our body we become disconnected from ourselves and our babies. As women prepare to give birth there is a cultivation of wildness and trust where our ancient organism’s truth can emerge. This, in turn, prepares us for the challenges that emerge when raising children. Commonly, women may seek my care during pregnancy for nausea, constipation, fatigue, nutritional advice, nourishing the baby in utero, and general well being. During birth, I assist with inducing labor, pain relief, comfort and turning breech babies. Post-partum care includes treating insufficient lactation, depression, and blood and qi restoration. I also assist women in their blessing ways towards the end of their pregnancies. These are ceremonies held with close family and friends to help women prepare for the birthing of their babies and becoming a mother. Let me know if I may be of service to you or someone you know. https://www.bronwynayla.com https://www.holisticmedicalarts.com/pregncy-and-birth https://www.facebook.com/aylaarts https://www.instagram.com/bronwyn.ayla https://twitter.com/BronwynAyla info@bronwynayla.com

Cupping

Read more My daughter, who is 5, loves to get cupped. Then again, she often assists me in the clinic, as i am unschooling her, so she is around this a lot. My mission is to restore embodied wisdom, inspire nourishing interactions, and unleash your innate potential through the alchemy of hands-on healing, movement, herbs, and energy medicine. Healing is about connecting to our deepest impossible dreams and making them a reality in our lives. It is a process of transformation from who we think we are to who we really are. Creating optimal health helps us connect to the nourishment of our destiny --- the impact we came here to make in the world, our community, our family, and ourselves. I unify a range of holistic medical arts to help women find radiant health and connect with our sacred wisdom. My modalities include acupuncture, Rosen Method bodywork, movement, lifestyle coaching, Reiki, nutritional consultation, and plant medicine. https://www.holisticmedicalarts.com/ https://www.sacredschooling.com https://www.facebook.com/aylaarts/ https://www.instagram.com/bronwyn.ayla/

Pregnant Contact Improvisation

Read more One of the biggest sources disconnect I see in my practice comes from women not listening to their inner truth but rather conforming to how external sources tell them they “should” be feeling or behaving. In my process of preparing to give birth I received endless – and often conflicting – recommendations that led me to question which advice to trust. An antidote to this is to return again and again to the wisdom of listening and responding to the impulses of our bodies. To develop self-trust we need to let go of outside authority, tune into what is happening in our systems, and invite our organisms to speak with us. When the ideas of the neo-cortex become an aristocracy over the directly felt-sense of our body we become disconnected from ourselves and our babies. As women prepare to give birth there is a cultivation of wildness and trust where our ancient organism’s truth can emerge. This, in turn, prepares us for the challenges that emerge when raising children. Commonly, women may seek my care during pregnancy for nausea, constipation, fatigue, nutritional advice, nourishing the baby in utero, and general well being. During birth, I assist with inducing labor, pain relief, comfort and turning breech babies. Post-partum care includes treating insufficient lactation, depression, and blood and qi restoration. I also assist women in their blessing ways towards the end of their pregnancies. These are ceremonies held with close family and friends to help women prepare for the birthing of their babies and becoming a mother. Let me know if I may be of service to you or someone you know. https://www.bronwynayla.com https://www.holisticmedicalarts.com/pregncy-and-birth https://www.facebook.com/aylaarts https://www.instagram.com/bronwyn.ayla https://twitter.com/BronwynAyla info@bronwynayla.com

Cupping

Read more My daughter, who is 5, loves to get cupped. Then again, she often assists me in the clinic, as i am unschooling her, so she is around this a lot. My mission is to restore embodied wisdom, inspire nourishing interactions, and unleash your innate potential through the alchemy of hands-on healing, movement, herbs, and energy medicine. Healing is about connecting to our deepest impossible dreams and making them a reality in our lives. It is a process of transformation from who we think we are to who we really are. Creating optimal health helps us connect to the nourishment of our destiny --- the impact we came here to make in the world, our community, our family, and ourselves. I unify a range of holistic medical arts to help women find radiant health and connect with our sacred wisdom. My modalities include acupuncture, Rosen Method bodywork, movement, lifestyle coaching, Reiki, nutritional consultation, and plant medicine. https://www.holisticmedicalarts.com/ https://www.sacredschooling.com https://www.facebook.com/aylaarts/ https://www.instagram.com/bronwyn.ayla/
