Instructor Bios
Our instructors have decades of experience in each of the fields they teach in, plus much life and teaching experience. The instructors all read, research and take courses to keep current in their various fields. They have worked with students for many years.
*Each of us have pioneered a job in a field that is unusual, before becoming an instructor, taking financial risks for what we believed in. Yet none of us were able to settle with being only our partial selves in our work lives. As we applied the techniques we learned from our various wholistic fields, we were not happy to just isolate them to a part of our lives, but needed to integrate them more thoroughly. We have this same hope and belief for our students- to live what they learn. Each of our students will have the opportunity to develop new skills and gifts they can apply to themselves, their families, jobs and communities. They learn to be more responsible creators and start to appreciate the impact their decisions have on the planet.
What sometimes remains unseen is the amount of compassion the instructors have for the students as they go through much learning and change. Also the amount of ingenuity each instructor has in setting up courses and programs to give students a mix of intuitive, experiential and field related information is seldom relayed.
