Girdwood Charter School dream...
This video was first made for the Girdwood Charter School and the kids and parents of Glacier City. We had intended to buy this property as the School office and base camp for outdoor activities. However, someone else bought it instead. Now we are simply using existing facilities and the vast wilderness as our classroom. Perhaps by spring we will have a new place in mind. Adventure • Stewardship • Production... these are the basic elements of this unique wilderness school. For more than twenty years I have been exploring Alaska searching for the ideal place to live, work and play deep within a wilderness environment yet that is close enough to civilization that others may enjoy it too. Many suitable places were discovered but the land portrayed in this video is the "best of both worlds" with civilization out the front door and wilderness out the back. This or another place like it serves s a center for education and ecology that we are using to create a model of sustainable living for the 21st century. Practical and esoteric arts are studied, experienced and shared here for personal and community growth. Gardening, landscaping, arts, crafts and many other electives are lived and taught on a daily basis. We also have an on-site saw mill to process lumber for our Forestry and Wood Harvesting program. Staff, students and visitors may also learn basic and advanced wilderness survival and travel, orienteering, kayaking, hiking, mountain climbing, healing arts, martial arts and multi-media production. Meditation, massage, gourmet food and various forms of professional counseling are also part of this dynamic school and retreat. The curriculum is real life and the process of learning is 90% experiential and 10% academic. Other activities and skills offered include archery, composting, recycling and how to manufacture useful products from waste materials and available resources.
Wherever we are, wherever we explore, we always focus on ways to beautify it, restore it or have it serve as a base for people to learn about reclamation and stewardship. Glacier Vally is one of the most incredible locations in Alaska. The parcel is bordered on two sides by California Creek which is a glacier stream flowing close to its source out of the Chugach Mountains. The center of the town of Girdwood, or "Glacier City" as it is known by locals, is a mile wide and two miles deep off the north Pacific ocean inlet of Turnagain Arm. One block to the West is a gateway to more than 10,000 acres of pristine wilderness: mountain rainforest, glacier streams and wildlife. Across the street is the rustic, world-famous fine-dining restaurant, the Double Musky.
"How much money have you raised?" people ask. "How are you going to pay for it?" The answer is simply, "The Secret." The Law of Attraction and other methods of creation are now finding their way into the minds and hearts of the masses. More important than land or wilderness schools and retreat aspect of the Girdwood Charter School is the awareness and ability of applying such phenomenon as "The Secret", the ability to create anything imaginable. I learned this many years ago and have been applying it regularly. Now the basic principles of creation have reached the mainstream and this School and Retreat is a place to learn and apply these principles- in a way that is beneficial to people and nature.
Starting with no money whatsoever, myself and others are focusing our minds and engaging our passionate hearts to create a way of life that is sustainable. We are sharing the process: the challenges and rewards via multi-media: stories, music, photos and video particularly DVD and the worldwide web.
The purpose of this video and the School & Retreat is represents are intended to promote and support tribal community- employing the best of indigenous wisdom and the best of modern technology to learn, experience and teach sustainable living.

Karen Armstrong: 2008 TED Prize wish: Charter for Compassio
http://www.ted.com As she accepts her 2008 TED Prize, author and scholar Karen Armstrong talks about how the Abrahamic religions -- Islam, Judaism, Christianity -- have been diverted from the moral purpose they share to foster compassion. But Armstrong has seen a yearning to change this fact. People want to be religious, she says; we should act to help make religion a force for harmony. She asks the TED community to help her build a Charter for Compassion -- to help restore the Golden Rule as the central global religious doctrine.
