This week we focused on coaching and mentoring, two great ways to grow for both the advisor and the advisee.

• Monday, Victoria and I shared our experiences with life coaching—what we are learning, and how it is changing us.
• Tuesday, we interviewed our life coach, Maia Conty, about what coaching is for—to teach us how to create a new experience of life.
• Wednesday, Stella wrote about her experience with mentoring, and how vulnerability can help foster deep connections across age and cultural gaps.
• Thursday was our 2nd Pronoia discussion, all about rising to the challenge of meeting the biggest problems we can find.

Today we’re posting a video by scientist and teacher Sraddhalu Ranade, in which he shares his thoughts on integral education. “The purpose of education is organizing the personality to reflect the soul,” he says. To me this statement underscores the importance of seeing our development in the highest, widest, deepest context. When everything in us is lined up and connected to life itself, then the ability to create the world we want is a natural outcome.
