EFL International Fall Newsletter 2021

Dear Friends,

I’d like to thank you for your ongoing interest in Education for Life.

With new energy from Clarity West, Aryavan McSweeney and others, we will be able to offer this monthly newsletter to share current events from EFL World-Wide. You will now be able, in a timely manner, to hear of the new initiatives for spreading EFL as well as ongoing opportunities for connecting via online events.

We would also like to include you in celebrating our 50th year of sharing Education for Life! One fun development is that we can now include the term “How-to-Live” in our official title. As many of you will remember, this is the term that Paramhansa Yogananda used to describe his program at the Ranchi, India school back in 1917.

Our official title will now be Education for Life: A How-To-Live Approach

I look forward to sharing this new chapter with you.
Joy,

Nitai Deranja
President, EFL International

The Education for Life Institute of Europe

With an inspired, creative team of nine individuals, EFL Institute is opening its doors to the public, offering Level One - of the teacher and parent training program, The Foundation Course!

When Swami Kriyananda completed writing his book, Education for Life, he stated that when the EFL approach gets fully developed, it will change education around the world. Thus, he envisioned EFL having a global mission, perhaps involving thousands of students, teachers and parents.

The mission of the Education for Life Institute includes seven levels of training programs for teachers and parents — to be offered in English, Italian, German, Spanish, Slovene, Russian and more. In this way, the EFL principles and practices may eventually be integrated into public and private school curriculums and homeschools throughout Europe and beyond.

We have teachers all over the world: Hawaii, Israel, New York, Hong Kong, China, California and England, and our students are from Italy, India and the United States. This is a perfect way to get a global perspective on all subjects!

The courses this term are: physics, math, Non violent communication, Performing arts, history of world religions and this year we will also offer a 'centering' class so students can learn many options for calming and de-stressing themselves, along with a course in communication skills and ethics for daily life (yamas and niyamas).
