Who Shall Raise the Children?
The Living Art of Parenting for the 21st Century
An Intensive for Parents and Educators, Offered by Marg Beard and Kati Gabor
Through inspiring presentations, artistic activities, and movement exercises, space will be created to find and explore your own unique question in the field of parenting. This question shall become the North Star that guides you through the turbulent waters of raising children in our times. Throughout the journey of following the Star, you develop new parenting skills and capacities which then become an inner compass. Our intention for the workshop is to plant seeds together for connection and to inspire new social forms out of the ever deepening inner knowing of what is needed for the future. After all, it takes a village to raise a child. Marg and Kati, as New Adult Education Facilitators, apply individualized spiritualized learning processes based on Coenraad van Houten’s work and will introduce My Child MySelf, a parent education process developed by Arlene Thorn. As students and facilitators of these modalities they will call on the work of Kim John Payne (Simplicity Parenting) as well as Otto Scharmer and Arawana Hayashi (U-lab and Social Presencing Theatre https://www.u-school.org/social-arts#spt-in-education ) Please bring a notebook, sketch book and coloured crayons.

Future Events
Summer 2025
Connections Retreat – Path One, offered by Fiona Hughes
Cost, dates and location to be determined. For updates contact hughes.fionam[at]gmail.com
Path One – Learning to Learn, the transformation of thinking:
Thinking is a creative activity, but when we form an idea it becomes fixed. We apply the 7 learning processes to individualize and re-enliven our thinking, to turn ideas as well as perceptions and feelings into pictures, into new imaginations, inspirations, and intuitions
Path Two – Destiny Learning, the transformation of feelings
Karma brings us experiences that challenge us to wake up to why we are here. To do this we need to see our shadow patterns, our wounds. When we open ourselves to learn from our struggles and trials in life they help us to develop.
Path Three – Creative Spiritual Research, finding your individual initiative
You are a unique person so your purpose in life is unique to you. On this path we move from who am I – to – why am I here now, and what is mine to do. We need to realize that our lives have meaning in the big picture of creation. Like Frodo in Lord of the Rings, the question is, will you pick up your ring and fulfil your destiny?!
