The Spark With Stephanie James

We have all heard the term, "Children are our future," but what kind of future are we providing for them? Phillip Moore, former director of the Upland Hills School, shares a new educational paradigm with us this week. He helps us explore the possibilities of creating amazing schools where each child is seen as a genius with individual gifts to cultivate and share.Through forging inter-personal bonds, deepening intra-personal awareness, and connection with nature, Phillip Moore and Upland Hills School give us a new way to awaken to a new set of experiences for teachers and students and a new future for us all.Support us on Patreon:

Just a spoon full of humor makes our anxiety go down.  Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies and triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Simply put, we all need to laugh.This week on The Spark, my guest is award-winning comedian Alicia Dattner, as she speaks with us about her life, laughter, and the messy, wonderful art of embracing our humanity.Learn more about Alicia:

Turn on the news. Full of fear mongering, the disaster of the day, or what is wrong in our world, it can leave even the most grounded of us, grasping for some stability. We can all get caught in searching for things externally that can bring us some temporary relief or sense of pleasure. What if we realized we were already able to experience the deep contentment we desire and a deep sense of connection without looking anywhere outside of ourselves?Author, public speaker, and ordained Interfaith Minister Philip Goldberg joins me on this episode of The Spark for an enlightening dive into our inner self and how we can find clarity and resiliency in our ever-changing and often challenging world.Philip's website: http://philipgoldberg.com
