“The world of education is changing radically, and I believe we have a narrow window to train the technology that everybody's going to be using. But not on the aggregate of what's out there on the internet, which is a very low standard of human consciousness. But to train them in the best. I'm currently in a program where we're learning how to build individual AI tutors. What I'm interested in is the deeper substrate of how these AI tutors are trained, and to train them in some of the traditional wisdom principles.” Amy Edelstein

My new contemplative book about the brilliant work of paleontologist and evolutionary philosopher Teilhard de Chardin is now available!
Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-director of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology and past vice president of the American Teilhard Association said,
"Amy Edelstein has created an extraordinary book that ignites a deep appreciation for Teilhard’s comprehensive vision of love. … This will bring joy and inspiration to so many seekers of Zest for Life."

Purpose, mindfulness, and compassion tools ... essentials in teen support toolkits. Here's one of our instructors working with the smart English III students at Bodine, learning all about categories of thoughts and what our minds are really busy with so we can make better choices and deepen our self-knowledge. Help us expand this work to more students, share your optimism for the next generation this Giving Tuesday! Every gift is greatly appreciated!

Over the last few weeks, C20, the civil society arm of the G20 has held a series of meetings to make recommendations on overall health, wellbeing, security, safety and equity to the worlds' governments. Led by Sri Amritanandamayi (Amma - the first time an internationally recognized spiritual leader has led the C20) these meetings have emphasized the values that deepen our humanity, compassion, ethical behavior, equity, and support for marginalized peoples around the world. I had the honor and opportunity to speak as part of the Technology & Education panel in Coimbatore, India. Important discussion and considerations and ChatGPT launches and changes our educational landscape with great potential as well as concerns.
