A REVOLUTION
IN EDUCATION
Teacher Training
body. mind. work. play.
The fruit of spiritual maturity – and therefore, the aim of spiritual practice – is to be able to engage the world with maximum clarity and competence, not to run away from it. Clearly understanding how we should move through the world and why is the natural byproduct of having studied and practiced under the guidance of legitimate educators and mentors, who themselves have done the same. To foster maturity in others is only possible when teaching from lived experience.
To be clear, our approach emphasizes the cultivation and embodiment of virtue, not the retention of information. Since our 200 HR YTT and 30 HR YACEP certifications are "Buddhist", let us define that term. Buddhism is not a religion. It is a system of education that can stand alone as a comprehensive way of life or compliment any constructive worldview or spiritual tradition that includes a devotional component.
A Buddha would not disagree with what Thomas said in his gospel – that the Kingdom of God is spread across the Earth – and that unfortunately, most of us aren't seeing it. A Buddha's good news, however, is this: there's no field more fertile than the one we're currently standing on. We've simply not realized this, because we've yet to learn how to work it.
