EU 2022 Retreat | Day 1 (Thinking Inside The Box)

In this group of lessons, we’ll take an in-depth look at the visual elements Emergence uses to create physical (visual) representations of mental (invisible) things.

Monday Lessons – Learning to Think “Inside the Box”

• Lesson 1 – Using Boxes to Define the Limits and Focus of Discovery Searches
• Lesson 2 – Testing What You’ve Learned About Searches with the 4 Wise Men’s Map
• Lesson 3 – Physical Road Maps vs. Mental Road Maps (the key to learning Emergence)
• Lesson 4 – Making Discoveries by Contrasting and Comparing Maps

In this group of lessons, we’ll take an in-depth look at the visual elements Emergence uses to create physical (visual) representations of mental (invisible) things. All of our drawings use variations of these same elements to represent natural aspects of our world. The key to using these elements? Treat them as if they are actual, physical things. Then learn to picture them in an imaginary 3-dimensional space in your mind.

Realize this goal is one of the main pillars of our school’s philosophy of learning. All lessons are Visual First – Conceptual Second. Here, our drawings serve as mental “cookie-cutter molds” which we use in the course of our of different professions. They guide every exploration we make, including in the sciences, medicine, and psychology.
