2024 Seasonal Overview

Community Development

Intention & Connection
This first quarter includes workshops dedicated to nurturing a deeper sense of self and connection to our community. Conscious education, self-awareness, connecting, team building, and intention setting will lay our foundation for a rich and secure year of learning. Students will explore their new learning environment, design educational and recreational spaces within their community, and develop new 2024 community policies, jobs and responsibilities, and commitment.

Connection to Earth
Our second quarter will include Life Sciences, Geography, Ecology, Permaculture, Wildcrafting, and Biliteracy PBL. Each year, Life Project spends our “summer” quarter committed to planet protection, earth advocacy, biology, and local conservation. Our Earth Guardians have previously partnered with The Sloth Institute, Reserva Playa Tortuga, Asomacao, Envision Festival & Rancho la Merced, Innoceana, Villas Alturas, and Misión Tiburón. This year, we are additionally excited to empower our children so stay tuned for our announcement of our 2023 summer conservation partner!

Connection to Universe
This particular quarter traditionally includes topics such as Astronomy, Mythology, Astrophysics, Ancestry, Cultural Studies, and Theology. During our final extended quarter, children will broaden and deepen their understanding of self, others, and the planet, by investigating our relationships with others, our ancestors, as well as the infinite cosmos. Children will investigate cross-cultural interpretations of the history of the universe and creation and will understand the vast interconnectedness of all energy contained within the universe and within each being.
