Each wisdom tradition has its guiding principles for life. And they make sense and when taken together form a powerful message that underlying it all we share more than not.
About ivonprefontaine
In keeping with bell hooks and Noam Chomsky, I consider myself a public and dissident intellectual. Part of my work is to move beyond (transcend) institutional dogmas that bind me to defend freedom, raising my voice to be heard on behalf of those who seek equity and justice in all their forms. I completed my PhD in Philosophy of Leadership Studies at Gonzaga University, Spokane, WA. My dissertation and research was how teachers experience becoming teachers and their role as leaders. I focus on leading, communicating, and innovating in organizations. This includes mindfuful servant-leadership, World Cafe events, Appreciative Inquiry, and expressing one's self through creativity. I offer retreats, workshops, and presentations that can be tailored to your organzations specific needs. I published peer reviewed articles about schools as learning organizations, currere as an ethical pursuit, and hope as an essential element of adult eductaion. I published three poems and am currently preparing my poetry to publish as an anthology of poetry. I present on mindful leadership, servant leadership, schools as learning organizations, how teachers experience becoming teachers, assessement, and critical thinking. I facilitate mindfulness, hospitality retreats. and World Cafe Events using Appreciative Inquiry. I am writing and researching about various forms of leadership, how teachers inform and form their identity as a particular teacher, schools as learning organizations, hope, nonviolence and its anticipatory relationship with the future, as essential elements to teaching and learning.

Teacher as Transformer 
Very good rules to live by
They are for sure Len.
Thank you for sharing all that you do. Peace, love, and light “White Eagle”
You are welcome. It has inspired people to think of what the world would be if we lived by these words.
🙂
The world would be a completely different place…
It most certainly would be Laurie.
Wonderful rules to live by. So hard in reality but how wonderful the world would be if everyone did so.
It is beautiful to have an ideal standard to live towards.
If only…
It would be nice. That might be an understatement.
Great rules, love them
They are universal.
Yes but not universally adhered to, sadly.
Yes, sadly.
