Experiencing Education for Life
This five-class introductory series offers the opportunity to explore Education for Life “from the inside, out”. Participants will experience the three elements that provide the basis for Education for Life (EFL): the consciousness of the teacher or parent, the ability to connect with each child fully and clearly, and the direction of growth that is to be encouraged. In this course participants experience the power of these elements and cultivate their own skills in these areas.
This combination of experiential and theoretical approaches provides the best possible foundation for sharing EFL principles with children. Learn more

Years ago, our family went to An Education for Life Family Camp. To this day, that event is still one of the greatest memories we have of our family together. The kids had a fantastic time and so did we. I did not have to cook. It was just a time to nurture our family, our spiritual parenting, and to be with people we truly connected with on a deep level.” — H.G. parent of two college-age students
Families for a New Tomorrow
The goal of Families for a New Tomorrow is to provide a venue for wholesome, uplifting family gatherings, based on Education for Life principles.
Groups are started by parents who are inspired by the EFL approach. Meetings are usually once or twice a month, often on Sunday afternoons. A typical meeting could include:
1) an opening story and/or chant,
2) a short meditation/centering time,
3) a 20 minute whole-group service project,
4) 30 minutes of separate meetings for adult meditation/sharing and children games/crafts
5) an optional food celebration
6) a closing circle
A few sample ideas are described below. Contact us for help in starting a group. We’re happy to provide support.
