About Existential Knowledge Foundation :
Existential knowledge is the knowledge of all living beings in order to sustain life on earth. It is an inherent intelligence that living beings are born with and awareness awakened in the context they are located in. It is an understanding that is internalized instinctively, unconsciously (as though already there); and deepened through observation and exploration by and by.
Existential knowledge is the basis on which all indigenous knowledge is created. This is why indigenous communities have sustained themselves for thousands of years- their communities are based upon sustaining the existence of life.

The foundation has been set up to explore life, by living……..by feeling, sensing and being……

EKF has been working with Children, Natural Learning, Deschooling and various allied areas for more than 3 decades now. Foundation may be contacted at [email protected]

About Jinan KB
Jinan has spent more than 30 years researching on learning process, cognition, aesthetic sense, children, traditional knowledge system, design and architecture education. He believes that introduction to text in early childhood years damages our cognitive abilities. He draws his learnings from researching, living and working with indigenous communities. "My enquiry has been rooted in experience. I stopped reading in 1990 or so and this re wired my cognitive process and stopped reasoning as a way for comprehension. My cognitive source shifted from books/ words to the world. observation/ attention/ awareness/ experience became by cognitive process and self organizing became the process of comprehension. Automatically reasoning stopped functioning with in me. This means understanding began to happens! Nature, children and the 'illiterate' are my teachers/ guides in this journey"

Jinan continue to work in field of learning and living and sensitize people through various workshops, courses and talks. He may be contacted at [email protected]
