News Updates   

Dear TLC members,
 
To all those who are interested in a one-year job overseas, please check out the following:

I am delighted to let you know about a fascinating and highly challenging one-year job posting in the newly democratic Himalayan nation of Bhutan, whose King famously declared three decades ago that “Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross National Product.” This is a dream opportunity for an exceptional educator who wants to design and implement a fully holistic educational curriculum that truly integrates head, heart, and hands and fully joins the ecological, social, cultural, and contemplative dimensions of learning into a thoroughly joyful, transformative, and life-changing experience for adults and youth alike.

• Last year's 2011 Summer Institute was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who gave their time and energy to making it happen. Stay tuned for more details regarding the 2012 Summer Institute

• We will keep you posted concerning our upcoming 2012 Summer Institute via email!
   
• Circles: TLC Learning Circles are back in full swing. We appreciate your enthusiasm and ideas, so get your thinking hats on and let us know what you think might be a good topic!
  
  TLC Learning Circles are a series of bi-monthly informal gatherings that take place on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. Each circle has a particular topic, concern or video for discussion. If you want to see some of the circles we have had, they are listed under 2010 Past Events and 2011 Past Events.
