Hello, my name is David Scott. I created Inner Works in February of 2005 to create holistic, educational, and musical works which serve to feed the inner spirit. The vision is to help discover and solve the root causes for health problems, to manage education with joy so that the process of learning becomes easier, and to create musical works that feed the spirit.
In 1976 the art of tai chi chuan taught me to walk up a hill and be as rested at the top of the hill as I was on the bottom. It opened up new vistas in life and taught me many principles of good health. This art addressed the root of health. It is my life long quest to find practical solutions to health problems. I continue to acquire and refine skills in a Holistic Health practice.
In 1977 I read my first Montessori book written by Maria Montessori's son Mario. It opened my eyes to an understanding of the component nature of learning. Breaking down the pieces in such a way that they can be discovered reflects Maria Montessori's philosphy. The child's "absorbent mind" was captured by a specific educational method. The discovery process was captivating. Education can be a discovery process. It is the joy of discovery that helps the student take home a lesson that will be remembered. I continue to teach various subjects at UCSD Extension and am now expanding into holistic topics.
My mother and father taught me to play musical instruments. I grew up around a family that loved music. Musical works have the ability to create a meditative atmosphere which ennobles the spirit. Songs can capture the universal themes that echo across all cultures and all peoples. I write music every day and am working to share some of this wonderful music in my life.
