I\u2019ve spent the last two years creating and teaching at a small homeschool program called Chrysalis. It was born out of the desire to discover what a new education model could be, to take up the question that led to the formation of the first Waldorf school, and find its newness in this time. I\u2019ve worked as a welder, actor, and craftsperson since I graduated high school, educating myself and being educated in the school of life and lived experience. I am currently creating an actors\u2019 ensemble and am the house manager at Free Columbia, an arts initiative in Upstate New York. I am an organizer with the North American Youth Section and have been involved in the section for three years. I am continually searching for how to build and discover meaningful encounters. I have struggled (and still do) with the question of how to participate in the bigness of the world as a \u201cprofessional\u201d of any kind and maintain a genuine connection to spirituality; the significance of the small moments that provide powerful opportunities for depth, insight, and the feeling of the universal. The Youth Section has reminded me and given me a sense that, though I have encountered much apathy and materialism, there are many young people looking for a connection to the spirit, and through this, are full of enthusiasm and passion to engage with the difficulties facing our generation. I have felt the threads of potential and solidarity that extend across continents and experienced the blossoming that can happen when they weave together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/nayouthsection.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The North American Youth Section<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photo<\/strong> The NA Youth Section<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hillsdale, New York.
