  Human development is designed to follow nature's biological plan -- a  
genetically inherent design for creativity and freedom. Our dominator  
culture promotes neither creativity not freedom: it demands conformity,  
which inhibits a child's natural spiritual-creative development. The  
demand to conform produces competitive conflict -- the driving force of  
culture.
This presentation draws on neuroscience, neuro-cardiology, the “brain”  
of the heart, and the evolutionary of the four-fold brain. The work of  
Rudolph Steiner, Jean Piaget, Maria Montessori, and others reveals how  
these structures develop from birth in a sequential, stage-specific  
manner. We will explore how nature’s plan for children can be preserved  
in the midst of mounting hostility, chaos, confusion, and danger in  
today's dominator world.

  Particular attention will be paid to the “model imperative” by which  
all development unfolds and how, given appropriate models, negative  
cultural effects, no matter their power and profusion, need not block  
and thwart an individual child’s spiritual-creative unfolding. Here the  
critical importance of Steiner’s Waldorf Education is touched on, as  
well as its radical opposite, our newly invented electronic virtual  
realities which wreak havoc on the natural structures of mind. A young  
person’s compulsive attraction to these artificial mind-warps will be  
discussed, using the Bohm, Sheldrake, and Steiner insights into field  
effect and its rising role in these dominator models.

  The workshop unfolds in a logical, well illustrated and documented  
sequence, keeping the issues as simple and concrete as possible, free  
of jargon, vague abstraction or unrealistic hypothesis. Questions will  
be accepted as time permits.
