Part 2
 

1) One Earth One Universe was conducted according to Native American traditional processes for transmission of knowledge.  What are your feelings about learning in a paradigm and culture different than the conventional western culture? What differences did you notice? Was It difficult? Was it easy? What made it either difficult or easy or both?  (This question does not refer to "learning about Native American culture", though you are welcome to also include those thoughts. )

 
2) Has the experience of the One Earth One Universe gathering had an effect (either positive or negative) on:
  • the quality of your perceptions
  • your work
  • the way you relate to the natural world
  • your relationships with others
Please write a few words describing your experiences.
 
3) Recognizing that there are divergent world views separating Western science and Native science, what
  • ideas
  • concerns
  • interests
do you have for the future of this learning community?
 
4) In every community there are times when people may feel they are on the learning margins, while others are feeling comfortable at the center. Both kinds of feelings emerge and subside at different times for most people. Did you have either of these experiences, or both?  Please describe:
 
5) You are applying for the August gathering, would you please tell us:
