The School Is For…

Anyone who hears a deep yes in the heart.

If your mind needs to understand more…

We have an amazing group of students in their 20s – 70s, from all walks of life. On the surface, they are ordinary people just like you and me. Jobs. Family responsibilities. Perhaps a home mortgage to pay off. Some retired.

What is so profound about SIW students?

Underneath their day jobs, they are 21st century…

• Caretakers of our planet.
• Change agents and transformers.
• Creatives such as artists, dancers, poets and singers.
• Dreamers of a better world.
• Healers of all kinds.
• Peacemakers.
• Mystics.
• Spiritual practitioners.

They have a flame for:

• Authentic communication, connection and community.
• Meaningful contribution to the world.
• More awakeness and aliveness.
• Spiritual truth.
• Wholeness and healing.

The School Is Not For You if…

You are looking for a guaranteed map of success:

SIW does not teach 3 steps or 10 formulas to making your life work. You are a unique individual here to walk your own path. To live your version of success. And not somebody else’s version of success.

You are looking for external securities:

SIW is about listening to the deep self within. Finding the inner rock. Not placing your hope on the outside. Fame comes and goes. Fortunes rise and fall.

You are looking for instantaneous results:

To grow a vine may take a few months, but to grow a tree with a sturdy trunk, deep roots and wide branches takes years of cultivation. We are here to grow strong trees that can weather many storms.

You only want to feel okay:

The School teaches you that it is really okay to not feel okay. To be open to the cycles of life. The light and dark of life. The good and the bad. To welcome the messiness of life.

You’re content with life:

Perfect. There is no need to join the school.
