When learning partnerships break down over different approaches to embodied knowledge

My partner and I have been learning permaculture together from this experienced farmer, and while we're both committed to the work, I'm realizing that my academic background makes me want to understand the science first while she learns best by just doing and observing. Our teacher keeps pushing us to 'think like the land' but we keep getting stuck in our different approaches and it's affecting both our learning and our relationship.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A couple is discovering that their cognitive differences are creating barriers to shared apprenticeship in a tradition that requires both intellectual understanding and intuitive knowing.
