Back to School

You see it start mid-summer. First it’s an ad in the paper. A commercial. A tastefully arranged display at the supermarket showcasing pens and highlighters. In August it picks up in volume and intensity, and by the time the first pumpkin spice latte makes its cinnamon and nutmeg infused appearance, it’s everywhere:

Back to school!

The phrase elicits an array of responses, from the reluctance of students and the eager anticipation of parents to the particular mixture of both known only to teachers. This year, it also got us thinking...

What does ”back to school” mean for us? Most of us reading this blog are no longer in school in any official capacity, but does school always coincide with learning? What other ways do we learn? What things do we focus on learning? And how do we tend to the expansion of our mind, imagination, and spirit when it’s left entirely to us to manage?

This September, we invite you to join us in an exploration of what it means to be a student...of life, of the Universe, of all that IS. We invite you to embrace the lifelong learner in you--the part of you that gets curious, fascinated, excited, and motivated to know more. We invite you to go back to school with us, and to share what you learn. 

Also feel free to share your pumpkin spice latte!
