Dear friends,
The season of change is upon us, when the natural rhythms of life become palpable with each falling leaf and drop (or rise, depending where you are) in temperature. For this newsletter, we have therefore selected a range of resources from the Middle Way Education website that draw focus to nature, rhythm, relationships, and routine. Please enjoy, comment, and share with others!
With love,
The Middle Way Education team
PS: Speaking of changes, we have a new logo! This new design was created in order to help distinguish Middle Way Education, the non-profit educational organization, from the Middle Way School, which is a MWE contributor and partner, but operates independently. To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit our new and improved about page.
