We are a non-profit, educational organization. Our logo — the sun, an entity that solely gives — symbolizes the expanding power of creative energy. Born of beauty and affection, our workshops encourage the deep pleasure of learning.
The bedrock of our learning ecosystem is the transformative spirit of creativity and insight. Through critical reflection, participants acknowledge the beauty of this world, in others, in unexpected places, and within themselves. By decentering the individual, our workshops nourish a sense of community.
View the world fearlessly.
Our workshops for elementary and middle school students — Wanderlust & Reflection — nurture creativity and the deep pleasure of learning. The marriage of Philosophy with the Arts and Science encourages children to be curious about our breathtakingly vast and beautiful world. The courage to self-reflect prepares their minds to fearlessly accept the ambiguities and uncertainties of life. They realize that ‘not knowing’ isn’t failure but simply an invitation for discovery.
Turn vision into reality.
Our vocational humanities workshops for high school and college students — Endeavor & Catalyst — offer experiential learning. These workforce development programs nurture nimble minds that skillfully navigate our ever-evolving artificial intelligence (AI) dominated world of work. Participants apply a defined creative process that instils the mental discipline and resiliency needed for an idea to come to fruition. We champion relevant manufacturing skills and develop strategic thinkers who astutely employ AI to implement their vision.
Revere kinship.
Relationships are sacred and our intergenerational workshops — Human Effect & Celebration — nourish a sense of belonging. In our increasingly fractured world, it is important to care for and feel cared about by even those with whom we may disagree. These programs cultivate self-acceptance and expand one’s sense of community.
