May I make one suggestion that goes beyond classes and lessons? The cultivation of real conversation is something which has been lost to us. How many times do we find ourselves spending the time that the other person is speaking thinking about the next thing we will say rather than listening?  Our silences in conversation, with others let alone within ourselves, is of vast importance, since it is in the silence that we learn, breathing in knowledge and inspiration.*p*I don't know how we can accomplish this in the Summerlands or anywhere else.
