Frequently Asked Questions:
Land / Stay
Why do you want to be located so far away?
We think it is very important for the child to be in contact with nature on a daily basis, to have time and space to herself, and to establish a deep relationship and love for all living forms. We often mistake beauty for a form of entertainment, but we would like a child to appreciate the enormous beauty in day to day living, and to develop her own capacities for observation and silence.It is odd that we have so little relationship with nature, with the insects and the leaping frog and the owl that hoots among the hills calling for its mate. We never seem to have a feeling for all living things on the earth. If we could establish a deep abiding relationship with nature we would never kill an animal for our appetite, we would never harm, vivisect, a monkey, a dog, a guinea pig for our benefit. We would find other ways to heal our wounds, heal our bodies. But the healing of the mind is something totally different. That healing gradually takes place if you are with nature, with that orange on the tree, and the blade of grass that pushes through the cement, and the hills covered, hidden, by the clouds.
-Krishnamurti, Krishnamurti to himself
If children stay away from their family for the whole week, will we lose our relationship with them?
No, this only happens when there is conflict between home and school. If parents are interested in being part of the learning process and concerned about providing the right home atmosphere, then they will be able to have the right relationship with the child.
