Our kickoff event, dialogues with Robert Thurman and Jon Kabat-Zinn, moderated by Amy Edelstein about compassion and contemplative contributions to education, premiers March 16. More information and registration coming soon. Please RSVP to be sure you stay in touch!
Thought leaders in five focus tracks will explore innovative solutions and engage in Learning Journeys leading up to the Symposium. When we come together, we will cross pollinate across the tracks and design future of education recommendations from the best of the collaborative thinking.
The seat of our Future of Education design thinking and the site of our future in-person conference is Menla Conference & Retreat Center. Set in the Catskill Mountains, Menla creates optimal conditions for deep relaxation and innovative thinking. Surrounded by thousands of acres of pristine woodlands and trails, the center has state of the art conference facilities, meditation areas, gourmet organic vegetarian meals, and signature therapeutic spa treatments all to facilitate transformational gatherings that uplift participants and the world we share.
“I’m excited to learn what is needed to transform education. I have no doubt that it is not as simple as it sounds. Thanks for including me on this learning journey.”
