From the Director 

The experiment is starting!!

The Fall Catalogue (now published in hard copy and also online) is different from all our other catalogues over the last 6 1/2 years!

If you have registered for one of our Fall classes, you may have noticed that things have changed.  At least for this one semester.

Rather than 45 individual classes (as in the past), the Fall Catalogue follows this new experimental “5 and 10” model.  We have 5 series classes that meet four, five, or six times.  And we have 10 stand-alone classes that are workshops that meet once.

We are eager to hear your reaction!  So please sign up for a class or classes (and then show up!!!) and please give us feedback.  How do you like this new model?  We had heard that Truth School class participants wanted to “go deeper” with some classes running over time, so the trainer and participants could build on their learning week after week and really investigate one topic deeply.  So please, if you take a series class, let us know if it met your expectations.

Also some folks like the stand-alone workshops and wanted to make sure those were not dropped–so the Fall Catalogue has 10 stand-alone classes.

We could repeat the “5 and 10” model in the future, maybe one semester a year.  We are still figuring it out.  Our decision will depend on what we hear from you.  So send your thoughts about this new model directly to me at revandrea@comcast.net, and we will let you know in a future newsletter what we heard and where we are headed.

Sign up!  Registration is open!  Classes are starting next week!
Here’s to the success of the scrappy and pretty wonderful Truth School!  We aim to be nimble and responsive to your needs.

And here’s to all of you, we honor your good work in the world, we have heard your feedback and requests, and we want to hear more from you! Please be in touch.

With you in the struggle for a just and peaceful world,
Andrea
