What is life about? The Aims of Integral Education...

What is life about?  While there are many goals in Integral Education related to development of the whole being – body, vital (emotions and character), mind, psychic (soul), and spiritual – there is an important overall aim in this philosophy of education.

They must be sure that you love them not for what they do, but for who they are. They must be sure that you love them regardless (more…)
