EDUCATION
Oak
Grove School
Oak
Grove School offers innovative early childhood, elementary, junior
high school programs, a college-preparatory high school, and a
family-style boarding program all nourished by the educational
vision of its founder, philosopher and educator J. Krishnamurti.
Small classes in a natural environment are guided by experienced
teachers who encourage discovery and inquiry while supporting
exceptional academic, creative and personal growth.
Brockwood
Park School
The
philosopher and educator Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986), one of
whose primary concerns was right education, founded Brockwood
Park School in 1969. The intentions of the School, stated in Krishnamurti's
many public talks and books, can be summarised as follows:
*
To educate the whole human being
* To explore what freedom and responsibility are in relationship
with others and in modern society
*
To see the possibility of being free from self-centred action
and inner conflict
*
To discover one's own talent and what right livelihood means
*
To encourage excellence in academic studies
*
To learn the proper care, use and exercise of the body
* To appreciate the natural world, seeing our place in it and
responsibility for it
* To find the clarity that may come from having a sense of order
and valuing silence.
YOGA
I
personally have found hatha yoga to be a most important part of
my life. It keeps my body healthy and in tune so I can life fully.
I do a hot yoga practice at home which I learned from attending
classes over the years. I often need a teacher to help me with
alignment issues. It is difficult to recommend a type of yoga
because there are so many varieties. So what works for me may
not work for another. I list several links. Yet explore and don't
be limited to my selections. Also, listen to your own body for
guidance on what to eat, how much sleep you need and what kind
of exercise you body craves. Your body may be happy with a long
walk each day and not ask for more. The body has an intelligence
that if we listen to it, we will not be in conflict with it and
we will remain relatively healthy.
