Plexlearning: co-learning, co-adopting, & co-creating
The Education for Development and Support Network (EDSN) is an association of Lifestyle Academies and Neighborhood Centers that foster continuous co-learning, co-adopting, and co-creating with human and non-human agents. We integrate meaningful vocations, entrepreneurial philanthropy, mathematics, arts, science, technology and economics to build mindfulness-centered Research-to-Practice (R2P) communities.
We transform schooling into education that strengthen individual agency, collective capacity, and sustainable adoptions. We facilitate sponsored research, Life-long relationships, experiential learning, living trust funds, and distributed knowledge networks to strengthen civic engagement, curiosity, R2P inquiry, accountable governance, and mutual respect within the politics of being. Our collaborative quality assurance programs integrate reflective self-study, peer review, capacity building, asset development, strategic planning, and stewardship of our environmental niche.
The mission of EDSN is to advance inalienable individual and collective freedoms -- together with their corresponding governance and responsibilities -- towards mindful and sustainable ways of being for all, everywhere on our planet!
We explore mindful living, accountable governance, and the politics of being among fallible and finite epistemic human and non-human agents.

We strive to peacefully, respectfully, and sustainably cohabit Earth with all our human and non-human neighbors ...
Co-learning, co-creating, and co-evolving with Gaia -- Earth, currently the only known inhabitable planet.
