Meditation class: This project is one of the most recent ones. It began in the last week of August and occurs every Friday morning before classes. During one of my philosophy classes in which we talked about the concept of freedom for the Greeks, I decided to call the voice of ‘the one who knows what freedom is’ and ‘the one who is completely free’. The kids then asked about meditation and if they could do it. They love it and are great meditators. They don’t move at all and they are, for the first time consciously experiencing how busy their minds are, something they didn’t know before. They were also amazed that they were making choices unconsciously based on an extremely busy mind. Now they are more careful and they are beginning to gain clarity and awareness on the arising of their thoughts. They are also beginning to practice at home, on their own, and making tones of questions.

  • Sponsoring Kids Program: This is a project to connect hearts with hearts in which funds are directed to school supplies, food and shoes. For that we are working on a new website, posting pictures on social media site such as facebook or twitter, and distributing information through our newsletter, and by email.

Building Leaders: We do business and personal coaching with the Guatemalan directors of four different schools under the supervision of parent organizations who are responsible for those schools. We are using Integral Theory, The Big Mind Process, Evolutionary Teachings, business coaching exercises, NLP and theories and practices from The Uncommon Path. We also train them in marketing techniques using social media networks.

  • Philosophy classes: In coordination with Luke Armstrong, the director of the Godschild Project in Guatemala, I teach a philosophy class with the kids. I use among others tools, the Big Mind Process with the invaluable help of its creator, Dennis Genpo Merzel. The director of education at EnlightenNext (Andrew Cohen’s organization) Jeff Carreira with whom I have shared numerous phone calls also wisely guides me in the work. Jessica Roemischer, of pianobeautiful.com has also shared her work with kids and they are learning how nothing is impossible and by being present to her work they feel the peace that arises through listening to her music. And of course, the priceless advice of my dear husband, Mick.
