When you spend your childhood making real choices, discovering what you love, and having your thoughts and opinions taken seriously, you build a pretty strong sense of who you are along the way.

That's something I've really noticed with my unschooled teens. Of course they're still growing and changing, but they know themselves. They haven't suddenly reached adolescence and needed to discover who they are. They never lost that connection with themselves in the first place.

A lot of "finding yourself" comes from spending childhood following someone else's direction. If you've spent years being told what to learn, where to be, what success looks like and what you should be working towards, at some point you have to ask: What do I actually want? Who am I?

If you've had ownership over your life all along, you've spent childhood becoming yourself already.

“Before we ever put a pencil in our child's hands, those hands should dig, climb, press, pull, squish, twist and pinch a wide array of environments and a wide variety of materials.” – Amanda Morgan

“Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: "You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself -- educating your own judgements. Those that stay must remember, always, and all the time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society."
Doris Lessing

// Drum Circle //

At Sattva, we love welcoming guests—especially families who want to share something with the community! Co-creating experiences.

This is at the heart of our family retreat in March: offering those who are curious a chance to facilitate in a relaxed setting or for experienced individuals to share offerings that enrich others. Whether it’s a skill, a wellness practice, an activity, or simply jamming together, there’s space for it all.

For those seeking a break from full-time parenting while still enjoying nourishing and enriching experiences, you’re welcome to simply participate and soak it all in.

The Drum Circle was just fantastic and a great way to engage kids without prior knowledge of an instrument.

During the retreat, we will also have a drumming workshop with a local Belizian drum group, consisting of Master Drummer Emmeth Young and kids who have trained with him.

"In our search for knowledge, in our acquisitive desires, we are losing love, we are blunting the feeling for beauty, the sensitivity to cruelty; we are becoming more and more specialized and less and less integrated. Wisdom cannot be replaced by knowledge, and no amount of explanation, no accumulation of facts, will free man from suffering. Knowledge is necessary, science has its place; but if the mind and heart are suffocated by knowledge, and if the cause of suffering is explained away, life becomes vain and meaningless...

Information, the knowledge of facts, though ever increasing, is by its very nature limited. Wisdom is infinite, it includes knowledge and the way of action; but we take hold of a branch and think it is the whole tree. Through the knowledge of the part, we can never realize the joy of the whole. Intellect can never lead to the whole, for it is only a segment, a part.

We have separated intellect from feeling, and have developed intellect at the expense of feeling. We are like a three-legged object with one leg much longer than the others, and we have no balance. We are trained to be intellectual; our education cultivates the intellect to be sharp, cunning, acquisitive, and so it plays the most important role in our life. Intelligence is much greater than intellect, for it is the integration of reason and love; but there can be intelligence only when there is self-knowledge, the deep understanding of the total process of oneself."
