ISP- I choose this title since it synthesises (as the modern paradigm does to everything: make synthetic) the lifestyle which has shaped me and all of my studies and experiences. I have been raised by many different native wise elders and self-taught by spiritual practices and philosophical wisdom from many different indigenous cultures in North, Central and South America. This path is complimentary and integrates much of the modern knowledge, sciences, disciplines and tools. The difference between an ancestral educational paradigm and a modern educational paradigm is that this path seeks a more holistic and humanistic cultivation of the self instead of developing very specific technical knowledge that is useful only for the machinery of modern capitalism. I am skilled in many different arts and doings,  for example being a goldsmith, plastic artist, designer, writer, musician, conservationist, eco-tourism consultant and others, but the knowledge, information and formation that really matters I believe is the philosophical and spiritual one, the one I'm trying to share with the world through means like this one.
