Spa Night!
To liven up ISP week and help the students relax during their students Jane and I (steph) planned a "natural" spa night. We had avocado face masks, almond honey exfoliants, coffee scrubs, just to name a few.

Spring Break!!
Students have arrived from their various places of travel during mid term break. Some went all the way to Sydney to hug koalas and see the Blue Mountains, while others traveled New Zealand with the help of campervans. We heard stories of white water rafting, bungie jumping, strange encounters with weird people, and enjoyment of nature. I do not know if we all came back relaxed and geared up to go, but we all came back with some great memories and stories to share. We all really appreciated Jerad's poetic recap of his skydiving experience-- thanks for that!

David Wilcox Concert
At the end of our first week of God and Nature David gave us a lovely concert. It was a memorable experience and we thoroughly enjoyed having his family here. Thanks for making this week extra special!

Halloween and Sustainable Community Development
During our second week of SCD with Mic Duncan we threw a giant Halloween bash, not really understanding why this hasn't caught on in New Zealand. I think we made some of the Kiwi's, including Jane and Mic, a little uncomfortable-- but that's what Mic has been teaching us to do ;), right? Haha, good times had by all. Mic shared much of his story about time spent in the slums of Manilla and students spoke of how this class has altered their view on the world and injustice. Mic never ceases to bring people smiles, even with the hard stuff, as he speaks with such joy and passion.

God and Nature
This course was split up into two weeks. The first week Jeff Schloss from Westmont came accompanied with musician, David Wilcox, for some alternative learning. It was an exciting first week where students learned about an array of topics from chinese medicine to eros/venus. Each class David Wilcox would chime in with songs that he felt expressed what Jeff Schloss was teaching about-- it was a successful and innovative way of learning to say the least. Our class came to an end with a wonderful concert from David Wilcox and some good time of reflection. The second week had a more philosophical approach with our new professor, Brett Stephenson. We all enjoyed and were challenged by the questions that looked into our own way of living.
