Today, I read an article about a documentary coming out in summer 2008, called "School of Thought," about the Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment in Fairfield, Iowa.
I want to urge every person who understands the impact this can have on reducing school violence and teenage suicide to do all that you can to get it into the school you are involved in - parents, grandparents, teachers, administrators, politicians.
This program has been available for 50 years, with impressive results and scientific support. Yet, I called the Colorado Department of Education today, and spoke with a Charter School Consultant who didn't know what I was talking about. She asked me if I knew I was calling the Department of Education for K-12 public schools.
I guess she thought consciousness-based education is only for college. I find it sad that nine years after the Columbine shootings here in Colorado, the school system isn't even aware of this effective solution.
Here is a link to the Consciousness-based Education Association for more information, research and tools to use in approaching your local school.
It fills me with joy to see the light pouring into the world ...
