Being Together: A Manual For Living<\/em> falls in the lineage of publications such as the Journal of the Society for Education Through Art<\/em>, which throughout the 1960s provided British art schools a window into experimental education. By contrast, Grace Ndiritu\u2019s experience in creating radical pedagogies arose from a connected, yet unorthodox system of \u2018self education\u2019. In 2012, she decided to spend time living in cities only when necessary. She thus lived in rural, alternative and often spiritual communities, while expanding her research into nomadic lifestyles and training in esoteric studies, which she began after graduating art school. This research led her to visit Thai and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, permaculture communities in New Zealand, forest tree dwellers in Argentina, neo-tribal festivals such as Burning Man in Nevada, a Scottish Hare Krishna ashram, and the Findhorn Spiritual Community in Scotland. Such lifestyles forever transformed her ideas of education and have proven critical for her art, whether conducting teaching experiments with students, peers and the general public; some of whose voices appear in this publication. Ndiritu posits, \u201cWhat does (art) education mean today?\u201d and specifically, \u201cWhat does an embodied (art) education mean in a time of pandemics and social unrest?\u201d Being Together: A Manual For Living<\/em> attempts to answer these complex questions.
