It made me curious whether there was a monastery near me. First stop was at the Visitor Center where I watched the 20 minute video that gave the monastery's history and a sense of the daily lives of the monk. Afterward, I checked out the exhibition which gave the history of monasticism and concluded in the barn. The exhibition in this space reinforces the 20 minute video. Then I meandered outside to take the "contemplative walk" to the church (that's what its called) which took about 5-7 minutes. The i side of the church is beautiful in its simplicity. You can't really wander in here as they have a wooden barrier that blocks off visitor access. I sat in one of the pews and took in the beauty of the church and the stained glass window. Then I took the contemplative walk back to the Visitor Center and the Abbey Gift shop and cafe. On the walk, I was accompanied by a young man who was there for one of the retreats. We chatted and it was lovely. The gift shop is great offering plenty of books on various religious topics and other items like crosses, rosaries, coffee mugs, and homemade goods. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and highly recommend especially for those wanting to learn the history or enjoy the beauty of nature or to contemplate whatever is going on in their life. I will definitely be back as I'm interested in their retreats. As a writer, I like the idea of being in nature and a quiet space to create.

I see it in my kids every day. (ok, almost every day. They're still humans! :)) But they really do learn in a much more varied 'landscape' of people, of cultures, family structures and points of view and they are better for it. Plus they are getting all the tools for great conflict management skills, a key predictor of happiness. And that's the icing on the cake of solid academics. My kids are learning, and most importantly, they are happy and confident, they feel loved and like they "belong" at their school. (They beg me to stay at aftercare to play with their friends!)

When it came time to find a kindergarten for my son, I knew that I wanted a setting with small…read moreclass sizes, skillful teachers, and a focus on academics. However, as a psychologist, I also knew that I wanted a school that had a focus on social-emotional development. I feel so lucky to have found the Friends School for my son. They sincerely practice what they preach. My son has ADHD, and the teachers were exceptional in identifying his needs, using targeted strategies to assist him, and communicating with me about ways to support him. Despite his challenges, they never lost sight of his unique strengths. Now that he is in first grade, he is thriving. And, the beauty of it is, because it's a small school, his current teachers already have some familiarity with him and have been able to give me great feedback about his improvement. The focus on ensuring that kids are well-rounded citizens is also a real asset for FSA. My son is courteous, kind, and socially aware. He talks about helping the homeless, eating healthy foods, and caring for the environment. He gets adequate exercise and sunlight during the school day (which research shows is linked to greater energy and concentration). He is learning conflict management skills, mindfulness, empathy, and how to be a good member of a team. As someone who works with business leaders, I know that these lessons will be invaluable in his life. I once told the headmaster that he radiates warmth. His demeanor is so kind, upbeat, and positive - he never looks like he's going through the motions. I believe that he sets a great tone for the rest of the school. I can't rave enough about FSA. I'm so lucky that we found it!
