MASTER IN EDUCATION PROGRAM I'd like to invite you to be part of creating a unique online co-learning community. I am the core faculty member for an M.Ed program in Integrative Learning offered through the Institute for Educational Studies / Endicott College. The aim of the program is to explore our role in the Great Work as articulated by Thomas Berry and others. The Great Work is the creation of "mutually enhancing relations" (Berry's phrase) among all members of the Earth community and to create a vibrant, ecologically sustainable world for future generations of all species. The program is an exciting opportunity for professionals wanting to integrate an M.Ed. with their chosen work within an eco-cosmological context, or for those who are not yet established in their life's work, but who want to engage in deeper inquiry toward that end. If you've ever questioned what your role might be, or if you simply want to deepen your understanding of what the Great Work entails, I hope you'll consider joining with us in this special inquiry. Coursework draws on my ten years as editor of EarthLight Magazine and on a combination of the thought of Thomas Berry, Elizabet Sahtouris, David Whyte, Brian Swimme, Meg Wheatley, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Loren Eiseley, Paul Shepard, Lynn Margulis, David Bohm, and others. The online campus uses a type of dialogue based on David Bohm's work that facilitates a practice of reflective listening and response, encouraging the emergence of shared meaning. You can capture and print your own comments and those of your classmates for further reflection when the coursework is complete. This method and the online campus are the creation of educators Phil Gang and Marsha Morgan who have used them with great results with Montessori teachers for the past 12 years.

Where It Comes From
A collection of 95 of my poems is now available in a single
volume. Most of these poems were composed over the past five
years and they range from the sublime to the humorous, from the
contemplative to the playful. A common thread runs through them
all—a celebration of the natural world and the human spirit as an
integral reality. I hope you'll find some inspiration and hope in
this first collection of my poetic work.
