Holistic Education Initiative
What We Do
Connect. Share. Consult. Fund great things.
We aim to build connections between holistic educators and schools, and to increase the visibility and practice of holistic education. By establishing this network, we nurture our desire to connect, share stories, learn, and grow to wholeness. This naturally cycles back to our schools and organizations, further deepening our practice and benefiting students, teachers, parents, administrators and, ultimately, the greater community.
Connect
The HEI provides a network for holistic educators who seek to share stories, enhance holistic practices, and be in community with one another. Join the HEI community!
Share
The HEI spreads and integrates holistic education by sharing research and articles about holistic practice, as well as by blogging and encouraging networking of all kinds. Be informed!
Consult
We provide consulting for teachers and administrators in enriching their knowledge of holistic education, deepening their craft, and strengthening their individual schools. Areas of consulting can range anywhere from how to run student-led morning meetings to how to bring contemplative practice into your school. Fees for consulting are either paid by those receiving the consulting services or by funds generously given by our donors. Request consulting services
