Introduction
The Earth is calling upon our consciousness to shift. While there is much to celebrate in the beauty and love that resides on Earth, there is some tending to do. The water, soil, and air are sick. Animals—including men, women, boys, and girls—find themselves living in inhospitable and sometimes violent environments. So, tending we must. Education and Evolution are inextricably linked. Wisdom always serves to guide us (with courage) forward into unknown and new—yet promising—territory. Our strength will persevere and grow. With joy and grace, we’ll do the work of restoring and rebuilding the earth such that life sustains and thrives. Divine Harmony Temple is starting a school to do just that.
Soul Circle
It all begins with the soul. A soul that resonates with purpose puts a man or woman on a path of contribution. A soul with purpose is always a soul in service. Contribute your heart, kindness, encouragement, and good ideas to—and with—those around you. Tend to your sacred mind, as it is absolutely the most powerful tool in your possession: intend to coalesce your heart and mind to achieve coherence. Think positive and encouraging thoughts about yourself and others, yet bring a healthy sense of skepticism and critical thinking to avoid being controlled by fear or confusion.
Your body is your sacred temple. Learn to grow nutritious food to maintain, restore, and build your temple. Knowing energetic first aid to remedy and heal body, mind, and spirit is a powerful step towards connected independence and interdependence. Learn to harness the natural energy of Earth to meet all of your energy needs. Learn the art of water and soil restoration and care. Become the master of your body and mind through focused yet easeful meditation.
A purpose that cannot be distracted—but is rather directed—by an organized, positive, and unified mind inside a fluid and confident body are the kind of boys and girls we need now on Earth. They are Futurists. And that is what Divine Harmony Education builds—Futurists. Futurists use the principles of design to create, so they are also Designers.
When Futurists are focused on contributing their passion and gifts to man and womankind, plants, animals, and all living things…good things happen. They will shape and contribute to villages defined by like-minded individuals gathered under a common purpose. They will positively influence communities gathered by association. Earth will be uplifted by their collective optimism, knowledge, grit, problem solving capabilities, eloquent communication, loving hearts, and visions.
The Futurists that will emerge from Divine Harmony Education will bring us back to ourselves as we restore the basic principles of dignity, respect, regard, kindness, consideration, and compassion for the planet and all life. They will do it with flare, and with an open, honest, and vulnerable heart. Remember that Futurists are also Warriors & Strategists. They are smart, adept, strategic, and nuanced.
We will be in good hands. Trust this process.

Wisdom, Grace, Strength, & Joy
Wisdom, grace, strength, and joy are guiding tenets that support and influence both the curricular themes as well as the alignment of soul, mind, and body. The actions and words of adults are inspired by wisdom, grace, strength, and joy; at the same time, the nexus of energy swirling in the soul circle will also create and therefore inform wisdom, grace, strength, and joy: The mutually beneficial exchange creates a soothing crescendo that evolves alongside—and nourishes—the community. It’s a beautiful thing.
Spirit
At Divine Harmony Education, we define spirit as an energy—unseen by most—that holds us in an encouraging, beneficial, optimistic, loving, and warm embrace. Intention is powerful. As we hold our intentions, the process of creativity unfolds: as we inspire people around us to participate in our creations we activate this spirit energy and it becomes our co-creator. We respect, honor, and are incredibly grateful for this ancient, sacred, and ancestral spirit. We honor the multitude of man and womankind’s expression and comprehension of this divine spirit energy.
Wisdom’s Foundation
Wisdom’s base is grounded in our vision of a thriving Earth. We imagine—and confidently believe in— an Earth where all living things thrive and belong. Harmony, joy, and enchantment are achievable. Defining Earth as aspirational becomes essential as descriptive beacons light the way. Therefore, our beliefs and values bring our vision into focus. Combining clearly articulated beliefs and values with fluent and fluid emotional agility is the spring from which wisdom drinks. As we bridge the gap between our current and future realities, staying balanced protects the enduring energy required to sustain us as we design for Earth suffuse in joy, harmony, and enchantment.
