Foundation Guides Sets
Enki Foundation Guides Set
The Foundation Guides hold the underlying understanding that makes Enki, Enki. They are relevant to many areas of learning and living. And they raise relevant issues and questions for all types of education, whether or not one goes on to also work with the Enki materials and methods. Because the perspective detailed in these three books underlies all else in Enki – and because we encourage you to take your time with the materials – if you want to start here and then decide to go on to one of our programs before June 30th of the same year, this purchase (less a $40 administrative fee) will be credited to your first Enki K-5 Program purchase.
These are sold in digital format by subscription only. The set includes access to the following digital books, printable pdf workbooks, and audio-visual materials.
For the first many years of working with Enki to homeschool my two – very different – children, I read all three of the Foundation Guides, cover to cover, every summer. Each time, I took in something new – and important. Each time I understood a little more deeply what I had already taken in. And as I began to help lead Enki forward, I experienced again and again the value and impact of all I had read, pondered and applied.
Now, with both my children off in college, I am back to working full time teaching nurses and nurse practitioners. To my surprise and joy I experienced how relevant the principles described in the Foundation Guides are. They continue to guide me in all my relationships and undertakings and in how I navigate the world.
Whatever the situation, the guides help me find my way to my own wisdom.
Guides Detailed
Enki Foundation Guides Book I
In this book the underlying worldview and outlook that lie at the core of Enki Education are explored. The overview offered here provides the foundation for all that will come throughout Enki, including descriptions of how this manifests in the day to day experience of the children.
Book I Sample Pages:
Table of Contents (pdf)
Form and Freedom - two parts of a whole (pdf)
Enki Foundation Guides Books II and III
In Book II we delve into the underlying worldview and outlook that were introduced in Book I. Each topic is taken up at a deeper level so that readers can gain an understanding of how these issues play out in daily life. The deepening understanding offered here gives the teachers – whether at home or in the classroom – a keel to steady their course and keep focused on serving the child(ren)’s wellbeing as they adapt plans and materials to best meet their unique situation.
Then in Book III - the Research Sourcebook, you can explore in great detail whatever topics need attention with your particular children, or are of special interest to you. For example, you may well find that our description of movement work aligns simply with your world and your child is clearly nourished by the work. You may have no interest in knowing more about brain structure and development, or about Sensory Integration. Great – just let things unfold. But you might have a child, at home or in the classroom, who is resistant or agitated and seems generally unsettled. In this case, you may want to understand more. Then the Research Sourcebook, with its in-depth exploration of brain development and the neuro-sensory system can be a great support. So if and when it is of support to you, it is there.
