A REGIONAL GATHERING FOR EDUCATORS & COMMUNITY

AUGUST 4-6, 2017

Includes entrance to the event for the weekend, any of the daily open classes at Omega in yoga, meditation & tai chi and all meals from Fri dinner - Sun lunch. Housing not included.

Join us for an inaugural gathering of educators, administrators, business leaders, parents, students, and community-based organizations from the Hudson Valley and beyond to explore the potential for our schools and communities to learn and work together toward a shared and intentional future.

“Communities can be shaped by choice, or they can be shaped by chance. We can keep on accepting the kind of communities we get, or we can start creating the kind of communities we want.”

—Richard Moe, Fmr. President of The National Trust for Historic Preservation

Here in the Hudson Valley—with our fertile land, clean water, and emerging local economy—we are uniquely poised to transition away from unsustainable environmental, economic, and social systems to a more regenerative way of life. A large obstacle, and great opportunity, resides in the gap between our future aspirations and what our current structures are able to produce in terms of knowledge, understanding, skills, and the mindsets of our children and in our communities.

This August, we invite you to join us for an inaugural gathering of educators, administrators, business leaders, parents, students, and community-based organizations from the Hudson Valley and beyond to explore the potential for our schools and communities to learn and work together toward a shared and intentional future.

Through presentations, group discussions, and focused breakout sessions, we look at a whole-school approach to education—from curriculum and instruction to facilities and grounds—nested within a whole community, and how the two can be more deeply integrated and serve as resources for one another.

Using the Education for Sustainability (EfS) framework, the successful Sustainable Jersey for Schools initiative, and other case studies, we explore the power of learning and the creative potential of our youth, and continue to identify how to best support our next generation of leaders. Those from outside the Hudson Valley are welcome to join us to share insights and experiences and bring new understandings back home.
