• Environmental Stewardship • Reversing Poverty • Achieving Sustainable Lifestyles

• Conflict Resolution, Peace making

• Living in a globalized world

• To Love and Be Loved

What are our tools? • The idea of The Classroom • The idea of the Teacher, Facilitator, Presenter • The Curriculum

Reminder: Not about reform, or how the current system is not working. This is a conversation about big ideas. Stay at the mountain top with us. Let’s help each other stay out of the fear and hurt so we can access creativity.
