| The Homeschool Diner's Guide to Enki Education for Homeschoolers by Julie Shepherd Knapp, copyright 2006 The Enki approach was developed in 1989 by Beth Sutton, M.Ed., at the request of a group of parents. Enki is an arts-based program. It is also a "contemplative" educational method that seeks human wisdom and vitality, wherever they arise, "in all people, in all cultures, in all times." An approach that incorporates elements of many educational philosophies and religions, including Waldorf, Montessori, scientific, Buddhist, Christian, Native American, Islamic, Secular Humanist, and African. Enki integrates the skill mastery techniques of traditional education and the integrated project learning of theme-based education, along with many educational aspects of the Waldorf Inspired Programs. Enki programs "...weave together many diverse elements in order to support our fundamental premise: the central task of education, whether in classroom or homeschool programs, is the integration of body, heart, and mind within each child... We want the child to experience himself - his struggles, his successes, his dreams -- in every man. That's what makes this a spiritual, yet not sectarian approach. " Enki Education: A New Approach to Holistic Education (Part 1) by David Marshak How Does Enki compare with Waldorf and Montessori approaches?
