This program is growing upward by Terry Bishop
Tucked away on the west side of campus is a growing, student-driven program that involves several different career paths ranging from construction to conservation. For some students, the Learning Garden is an opportunity to gain experience before graduation. Scott Alexander is one of those students. He was unhappy with his job and, after a great deal of consideration, he gave up a secure job to seek a degree in construction.

The Day I got my Driver License
I either had a perfect guardian angel or the luck of the Irish the day I got my driver license. I remember that I was seventeen and invincible! I always did whatever I wanted to do and dealt with the consequences later, like the day I got my driver license. As soon as I returned home from the DMV that day, I got a call from my friend Kelly. He said a bunch of people were … Read entire article »

To Monsanto With … by Debi Pellar

It would be difficult (if not impossible) to exaggerate all that has transpired. The beliefs and actions of this company have been both … Read entire article »

Emergence of a New Normal
The Whole Light Beings Speak through Toni Elizabeth Sar’h, their Chancellor: Did you emanate into the earth world to be normal? Did you embrace your new form and say “make me common like all the others”?

HeartWings Healing Hearts, One Pillow At A Time by Melissa Allison-Lee
HeartWings Healing Hearts, One Pillow At A Time When I was first presented with the design for HeartWings several years ago, the idea came to me through a dream. I have always kept a notebook by my bed for just such occasions when inspiration or guidance might come to me. If I saved that for the morning the idea might be gone, the moment lost. I clearly heard, “HeartWings” and wrote the words down as I sketched … Read entire article »

Finding Real Wealth: From a Consumer Culture to Social Well-Being
Imagine a way of life that’s culturally richer but materially leaner. In this emerging lifestyle, there is less stress, insecurity, pollution, doubt and debt, but more vacation time, more solid connections with nature and more participation in the arts, amateur sports and politics. There is greater reliance on human energy — fueled by complex carbohydrates — and less reliance on ancient sunlight stored as pollution-filled fossil fuel. Fewer fluorescent hours in the supermarket, more sunny … Read entire article »

The Man in the Arena
The Man in the Arena is the title of a speech given by the US president, Theodore Roosevelt, at the Sorbonne in Paris, France on April 23, 1910. It was subsequently re-printed in his book Citizenship in a Republic. The speech is notable for the passage: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit … Read entire article »
