[ChatAction] IDEASS Gateway - 7 Generations

[D Tanenbaum]

“When you know who you are; when your mission is clear and you burn with
the inner fire of unbreakable will; no cold can touch your heart; no deluge
can dampen your purpose, you know that you are alive.” Chief Seattle



I too have that fire spirit *Bruce* that you carry in you being. Fire
Spirit = Passion, Purification, Energy. Fire Spirit is the most intense of
all the elements, and the fire is the only element with the power of
transmutation. All the natural elements having only clearing and cleansing
power.



I am announcing to my dear cohort in the *ChatAction group* the emergence
(emergence occurs when an entity is observed to have properties its parts
do not have on their own, properties or behaviors which emerge only when
the parts interact in a wider whole) of: *IDEASS Gateway – 7 Generations*,
she is a new non-profit born locally in the woods of North Carolina and
will weave herself into a national entity. IDEASS is an acronym for
Identify, Develop, Education and Spiritual Support.



The goal of IDEASS Gateway -7 Generations is to provide support for
education from conception to age 5 years old. Research shows that
the first five years of a child's life are fundamentally important because
they are the foundation that shapes children's future health, happiness,
growth, development and learning achievement at school, in the family and
community, and in life in general. 90 Percent of a child's brain develops
by age 5. Incredibly it doubles in size in the first year and keeps growing
to about 80 percent of adult size by age three and 90 percent — nearly full
grown — by age five. Recent brain research indicates that birth
to age three are the most important years in a child's development.



IDEASS Gateway – 7 Generations focal point is a child’s -initiated
learning, as a child plays and interacts with their environment, they
construct meaning about how the world works. In essence, a child will take
charge of their own learning.



The Mission of IDEASS Gateway – 7 Generations is:  to serve the new
generation of children with a new education approach. As an example, IDEASS
concepts and design will dovetail Richard Dunne’s *Harmony Project*, by
focusing on the youngest learners with a curricula integrating with Mother
Earth. The first phase of work will have its focus on activities/curriculia
that will be provided on exploring Mother Earth through the following
activities: ritual ceremony (seasonal and rites of passage), dreaming and
communing with nature, dramatic play, storytelling, circle time, art,
friendship games, identifying emotions, mindfulness, cooking, art, math,
sensory exploration, identifying one’s emotions, and literacy. The goal is
to have one years’ activities to provide for a full day’s program. This way
parents, teachers, caregivers will have the activities available to
use/download, providing them the opportunity to be present with children as
they explore. Each group downloading materials will provide their own
supplies for the children. Groups needing help with resources for their
particular area will be linked to organizations that can provide
assistance.

Young children require a lot of activities throughout a day, and teachers,
daycare givers spend much of their time creating it or *not,* rather than
having time to focus on what is most important…being present to relate to
children.



Partnership bridges will be set up with indigenousness groups around the
planet to focus on their wisdom ways and rites of passage, along with a
focus and support of interfaith spirituality. I see/dream/image the program
expanding in different languages and focusing on the unique characteristics
of cultures around the world.



Thank you for your consideration, if you would like to learn more about
IDEASS’, my personal career or volunteer/serve for varies position to help
support the cause, such as: computer expertise, to be on the board,
soliciting grant funds, storytelling, art, music, contacting indigenousness
groups or groups that might play a part, or ideas please feel free to
contact me.



Blessings,
