Cofounder Debora Prieto, with Jeff Carreira on Skype, teaching Integral Heart students
I consider myself privileged to be partnering with the Integral Heart Foundation and invite you to join this powerfully transformative endeavor in one of three ways.
I am traveling to Guatemala to teach the older students of this innovative and future-oriented education project and to lead this 12-hour meditation marathon. The goal? Raising $75,000 to support whole student education.
on for 3 schools with children ranging from Kindergarten to young adults in High School in La Antigua, Guatemala.
It’s a beautiful and integral, evolutionary, spiritual program run by Mick Quinn and Debora Prieto as a labor of Love, and their efforts prove that Love can move mountains.
The funds this project raises will directly support the foundation’s Critical-Thinking program for teenagers, helping to provide meeting space, a teacher training program, an entry-level critical thinking course, materials, books, education sponsorships, regular visits to the students villages for whole child/family support, salaries and health insurance for staff members. (Click HERE for a full breakdown of the budget).
Through the Critical-Thinking Program, students learn:
Integral Heart students meditating
– Concepts of classic philosophy, like Plato & Descartes
– Meditation, both the posture and the Zen practice itself
– Awareness and appreciation of world religions
– Sexuality and appreciation of sexual preferences
– Morals and ethics
– Human evolution and evolution of consciousness
– Values and Decision Making
– Integral Theory and the ability to take multiple perspectives
on problems and opportunities.
– The Big Mind Process, a merging of Voice Dialogue therapy with
Zen Buddhist conceptions of self and mind
Now you can see why I described my anticipation of traveling there for the Meditate-to-Educate program on December 7th as an experience of privilege and appreciation.
You can be part of this effort too! There is a small but global network of people like us, inspired by what’s possible through education, meditation, heart, and Big Love.
Your contributions go a LONG way!
