Indra's Net

Through myth, art, and science we will explore how we are all entangled and woven together.

Using the myth of Indra's Net as a foundational story, we will play with water ripples in a pan and weave a jewelled net with sticks and yarn to see how story, science, and art can help us explore the big question of how are we all connected.

Tracy Riley Learn more about me

From the time I lined up my stuffed animals to teach them lessons in science, drama, and fun, I knew learning was an adventure. This learning adventure has taken me from teaching English and Psychology to learners ages 5 to 75 in Canada and Japan, to raising two amazing daughters who were also SelfDesign learners. Along the way, I share my life with two furry allies - Jasper the yorkie-poo and Beauty the tabby - who keep our world lively. I believe education is a call to adventure: a chance to explore ideas, stories, and creativity in ways that connect mind, body, and soul. As one of your guides, I look forward to walking beside you as you discover your own heroic path.

A fun fact about me is that I love to propagate plants. I have plant cuttings in glasses of water all around my house, and I am fascinated by watching their roots grow.
