Paula Underwood's "Learning Stories" braid together body, mind, and spirit to enable understanding that does not easily unravel. They tell of relationships among individual and community learning that parallel other ancient and contemporary ideas about learning in caring communities. Underwood's tradition considers learning sacred; everyone's voices and purposes are equally important to the whole, and each is enabled to learn in the most effective way. She defines "spirit" as awareness of relatedness to others, to the earth, and to the universe; offers a model for connecting; and can be seen to promote thinking, feeling, and doing in the teaching and learning process. Underwood's "Ancient Wisdom" offers a means to develop "three-dimensional" learning experiences within and among future teachers and their students by promoting braided connections that empower knowledge, skills, and dispositions toward equitable communities.
