In my first article about Anastasia, I mentioned I had just received DVDs from the Ringing Cedar Series Bookstore and would review them carefully before sharing them around.  Well, one in particular was so relevant, that I took it with me to Haiti last November, and a series of miracles began to happen! 

First, I found myself magically seated in business class, seat 3C.  Soon there came another person, also bumped from economy class to business class, and she seated herself in 3D.  So what, you may think!  In just a few minutes I found out that she was engaged in transforming education in Haiti!  As soon as the airplane got in the air, I put this education DVD in my computer, and we watched and heard the extraordinary story about the Tekos School near Gelendzhik, Russia.  We both got so excited that the business class lunch had to be served to us later.

Indeed, this 13+ year old school may be the model for our future.  In this school, there are no teachers, only learners  following their heart’s desire in dramatically accelerated learning.  Students cover an 11-year math syllabus in just one year, while learning three foreign languages, martial arts and dance - and they get an official Master's degrees by the time they are seventeen. They come and go as they please and their parents pay no fees!  The students designed and built the school buildings themselves, with no adult supervision. 

This story touched the very core of my being - it reminded me of the extraordinary beauty within every human being.  What if ICA could follow this model and take it everywhere we go, not only as a school model but also in our facilitation, in the universities we create, and literally everywhere we be!

It appears to me that the secrets of this school are three fold.  First, it gives deep respect and encouragement to every student, rather than putting obsolete models for education and for teachers, jobs upfront. 

Second, they utilize SPIRIT as the source of knowledge rather than textbooks and “download” their wisdom from the universe’s “databanks” by using meditation

techniques. And they create a Space of Love for all - the people, the plants, animals and even the rocks, all pulsing with abundant energy, each at its own frequency.

I have set in motion the creation of a district-wide education system in Haiti. Since Haiti is nearly void of education structures, putting in place this model is indeed possible if we advance rapidly.  In mid-January, I begin looking for funding.  Maybe we will establish a primary and a middle school in every one of 11 towns. 

My Higher Self guided me to not put into place now a centralized vocational school, since others may accomplish this.  Instead, we will establish a magnet accelerated learning school for all of Haiti, based upon the Tekos School.

The recipient of several awards, he was honored with the title Akademik (Academician) by the Russian Academy of Education in 1991.

Look at http://www.ringingcedar.com/ and spend a few minutes browsing to see  what others are saying.  It will be difficult to stop! 

Buy a set of books and videos while you are there!  Take a small step toward establishing your profound link with this earth and toward lasting world peace.  Do this by being guided back into harmony with Nature.  The messages woven throughout the books are instrumental to our survival on Planet Earth.

For the next issue of “Wind and Waves”, I will write more about Anastasia’s model for Sustainable Peace Building. The following article will probably be about Anastasia’s Food for Life.
