I was wondering if anyone on here was interested in developing a more conscious healing focused school. As I conceive it, none exists yet. Schools like Waldorf or Montessori go further than most, but they still have problems and do not really allow a true conscious experiential development. In our society we are still mostly indoctrinating kids through the education system(factory) in whatever belief/moral/knowledge/methodology system is in style in our culture at the moment. We want good productive members of society rather than creative beings, because as Gurdjieff rightly suggested, society needs automatons to exist :) And we are not even doing a very good job at this anymore lol. The only way out of this pattern of indoctrination is to teach kids how to learn and to understand their emotions, which our current education system does not do at all.

Such a school would only be for parents who realize the need to be part of their kids education and school, rather than just dropping their kid off and disconnecting as our current school system perpetuates. It would be more like a community where teachers, and parents, would be guides for kids and each other, and be learning and growing themselves through their interaction with each child. Teachers would not be 'authority figures' but guides, voices reflecting the child's own inner wisdom they may not be able to access on their own yet. Initially a foundation of learning how we experience and create experience would be focused rather than the compartmental 'readin writin and arithmetic' mindset :) Young children can learn more than one language at the same time and much faster than most adults, but quickly 'grow' out of that through the conditioning they get in our society and most families. This school would be a way of not only honing that, but expanding and evolving that initial ability to learn more intuitively.

They would also learn to connect and co-create on a much more conscious level than is allow in our current education system or understood by our society. They would learn that truth is in them, not 'out there' and so they could easily decern deeper truths in all the 'fake news' and coming AI enhanced deceptions that are manifesting in our society, and see far beyond the Left vs Right polarization of our global societies. Such a school would give children a real chance at Life, rather than this limited 'image' of life we adults live under :)

Such a school might seem impossible in todays society, but all it would take is a few people working together to create it. But it does take people who truly want to help kids realize their full creative and evolutionary potential on Earth rather than putting them through the system and preparing them for college. So such a school would be far too 'radical' for most. But kids in a school like this would have no need for college to do whatever they want :)

Well if anyone is interested in discussing how such a school could be created on here, I would be willing to create a reddit forum for discussing it.
