Re-Enchanting Education in a Universe of Limitless Possibilities – Susan Terry

A beautiful visionary and remarkable Point of Light, Susan Terry, will join us live from Ontario, Canada and speak to us about her life-long vision and eventual manifestation of a school she named Peace School. The vision resulted from her own difficult experiences in the limiting and shaming atmosphere of the schools she attended. From an early age,  she dreamed of a school that would honor the spirit in each precious being. To quote from the Peace Vision:

• To engage children in the re-enchantment of education and guide them to their highest potentials, through the provision of tools that ignite, unfold and augment their innate gifts, and to nurture  the essence of each child, so they blossom into creative joyful, highly evolved citizens, while on the path to discover who and what they really are.
• To guide our children to their highest conscious potential and nurture them with love, so they blossom fully while discovering the wonder and joy of being.

WOW – don’t you wish you had gone to a school with these missions?

Susan will also tell us how she has been “ inspired, and guided by great spirits and mentors along her journey, who have given her the courage and confidence to undertake the immense mission to manifest this Divine vision to re-enchant education and give the Earth back to the Arms of Love.”

You will also learn of some beautiful techniques and activities of Peace School that bring loving connection with teachers and children and each other,  and the lovely results that have not only spiritually expanded the children but inspired the parents as well.

Susan is the Founder/Executive Director of PEACE School – the word PEACE is an acronym of the legal name of the organization: Paradigm Educational Academy of Creative Enlightenment (P E A C E).

Susan is also an Artist, Musician, Multimedia Specialist and holds a number of degrees in the fields she has directed and lead.

But mostly, Susan is a true visionary who, soon after entering grade one, became disillusioned with the militant industrial classroom environment.  She says “We enter the world as creative beings with great imaginations to guide us, and that is the perspective we live and learn from … the inside out.” Every day she envisioned how, when she grew up, she would change the world of education to a creative, exploration and enjoyable journey. In high school, she was fascinated by the story of Maria Montessori and her work with mentally challenged children. Susan landed her first career to setup and supervise a Montessori style Child Enrichment Program with the North Bay Children’s Aid Society and later became a Child Care Worker with ‘at risk teens’ in the heart of Toronto.

This was followed by a long career in the creative field of multi-media communications: film, television, radio (journalist, writer, producer, director and editor, employed by Crawley Films, International Cinemedia and all Canadian National networks). She later launched a multi-media Agency, in North Bay, Ontario, ICU Media, Marketing & Promotions – media production, communications, Public Relations, desktop publishing and web design.

In tandem, she was a Professor at Canadore College (Project Management) and CTS Career Training (Business English; Computer Software, Marketing), a Public Relations Officer for Nipissing University, and ESL Instructor, while assisting in the coordination of the Regional and National Science Fairs for grade 7 to 12 students, over 13 years.

In 2006, after watching her children go through an even more discouraging education experience, she was inspired to begin the school of her early visions … a joyful and enlightening experience for all children, to be nurtured to develop in their own design, to their fullest potentiality. “Like flowers in a garden, we all contain within the birth seed everything we need to blossom fully, given a wholesome, loving and nurturing environment.”

The PEACE School methodology is an organic creation founded on a conglomeration of  all the finest ancient and contemporary philosophies and methodologies to provide the tools and inspiration that will guide children to live an engaging, meaningful and purposeful life.

Susan is an advocate of cooperative community living and has volunteered in a variety of ways: playing flute in the North Bay Symphony and 22 Wing Military Band; acting as chaperone and public relations officer for a high school band during two European tours through Vienna, Prague, Salzburg, Weimer, Bath, London (UK) and Paris.  We could go on and on listing her amazing life experiences that have brought her here, where her work now enables children to blossom to their highest conscious potential and become the new lights of a  New Earth.
