“After 11 years working in culturally diverse environments; constantly seeking a deeper understanding of issues related to diversity and cultural responsiveness for positive system change, and recognizing the demand for conscious community and living alternatives that bring sustainable solutions; I believe Ephata is a learning community that will become a point of reference for environmental and social high standard of conscious education across the world.
