Živá třída - Vyučování a kolektivní vědomí – Bache Christopher M. (2015)

This groundbreaking work in the field of teaching and transpersonal psychology explores the dynamics of collective consciousness in the classroom. It combines scientific research with insights from thirty years of personal practice. The author examines the subtle influences that invisibly radiate from teachers during their work – unintended cognitive resonances that occur between teachers and students in the classroom. Although these synchronicities are often overlooked by traditional academics, Bache demonstrates that they occur too frequently and are too specific to be dismissed as mere coincidences. Citing Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic fields, he argues that well-conducted courses generate a 'learning field', forms of collective consciousness that have the potential to initiate new insights and surprising personal transformations. The book goes beyond theory and includes a number of student stories and practical recommendations and strategies for teachers who want to start working with these learning fields and elevate their teaching to a higher level of consciousness.
