May/June 2010
In the May/June issue of Resurgence, we look at education from the perspective of Gross National Happiness. Rather than focusing on education for economic growth, we need an education that encourages children to not only think, but to develop their intuition, imagination and sense of belonging to the Earth.
We also present a special feature on sculpture with unique insights into the artististic process.
