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
