Dear Friends

With the business of our summer season it has been quite awhile since we have touched base with this community. Our goal is to utilize these email messages  to both inform you about the School and our programs, and to  nourish a conversation about the character, role, and promise of modern rites of passage.

Please let us know if you find the information below of interest and what else you would like to know about the School and our work. For those of you who might want to refer back to one of these offerings, this email will be on our archive page. Also these offering along with some wonderful pictures of the school's "early days, can be found on the School's Facebook page.

Many blessings,
Joseph Lazenka
