The ACM Living Awareness programme offers a unique learning opportunity that naturally reawakens learners to their true inner purpose. Babies and young children from birth have a natural ability to apply self-learning stratagems to continually explore and discover life. This is why we assist in re-discovering this natural ability to help learners in reawakening themselves to what they already know deep down inside.

Through our upbringing and traditional pedagogy, which overemphasize cognitive or left brained learning, the natural ability to learn autodidactically is reduced. We have long considered education to be a tool to form the minds of children, youngsters and adults according to a predefined cognitive mold instead of allowing them to grow naturally, actualizing their innate wisdom and ability to create their own lives.

Present-day learners are increasingly claiming their right to learn in a way that is most natural to them. The history of Education has known various personalities like Maria Montessori and Rudolf Steiner who have developed educational programmes that stimulate the whole learner through student-centered and discontinuous learning programmes.

The ACM Living Awareness programme departs from the point of view that every learner is influenced by his/her environment and has a capacity of dynamic self-organization that continually seeks balance. It also departs from the point of view that all learning processes have a life-cycle. Each moment in that life-cycle can be described as an occasion of experience in which dynamic self-organization and self-learning can take place. Instead of stagnating this self-organization and self-learning through cognitive learning we can stimulate children, youngsters and adults to actualize this inborn capacity by stimulating present-moment or Mindful awareness of the process of learning.
