At first glance Forest School and Luck, seem to be two elements that do not have a tinge of connection. One is generally recognised as an educational approach, or even a lifestyle. Whereas the other one seems to be a mysterious element, that counteracts our control-obsessed world, yet also runs so many aspects of our life and world.
Luck is defined as “success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions.” It is something that we get regardless of our merit or effort. It is a chance-based phenomenon that hinges on the possibilities of an event.
Forest School Approach by the Forest School Singapore definition, circles around the 3-led pillars: child-led, nature-led and context-led (link to fss approaches). It leans heavily on the trust we have in our children, environment and the culture of time and space. To operate and live life closely with the 3-led pillars, we trust strongly upon the ecosystem and the universe we delve in. It’s almost like a trust in the universe of possibilities.
If we link the above definitions together, we come to a common ground of possibilities. Luck springs upon the possibilities of life that has no causational action that leads to it, while practicing the Forest School Approach brings us closer to trusting the ecosystem and the universe for possibilities.
There is a hidden relationship between being lucky and the practice of Forest School approach that we cannot ignore. Whether the luck presents itself within the sphere of experiences as positive or negative, depends a lot on the position of the individual in the trust of the Forest School Approach.
Flow of How Forest School Approaches Improves Luck
- When one experiences the Forest School Approach, and gradually takes on the elements in their practice of Education and Life, they begin to build a trust of the Environment, their communities and progressively their own selves.
- Through the trust, they will also gain the understanding of the power of intention, where one understands the magic of going with the flow, but with clear intention that we derive through deep self-reflection (a key aspect of the practice of the Forest School Approach).
- This phase of the journey leads to a sense of wonder for the world we live in. The curiosity and motivation for life, brings energy to the way we live, learn and work. Creating a space where possibilities flow in infinitely.
- The possibilities create chances to manifest increasingly, leading to luck being bestowed upon the one who journeys in the Forest School approach.
- We naturally become more attentive to the environment and Nature. Allowing us to pay attention to possibilities around us.
- With this elevated energy and attention, even 4D numbers show up clearly to us, haha.
- Amidst all that develops from the practice of Forest School approach and luck, we will gain seasonal stretches where we connect with the oneness of the universe. Everything falls into one core atom in those moments.
What’s stopping us from attempting this journey of luck through the Forest School approach?
