You're invited to a very special gathering--a "summit conference" of youth. Our purpose?To imagine this:Each person born, each person who comes to our summit, has a message to give to the world (perhaps several, perhaps many.)

Each person....The great statesman Mahatma Gandhi said, "My life is my mission." But that was Gandhi! How can we know what messages we have to give? How can we deliver them so people will actually listen?

This summit will take place in three parts:

1. Messages--The Game

2. Messages--The Simulation

3. Messages--The Instructions

Please join us. You'll need an open mind, a big smile, pen/pencil and notebook, and a willingness to receive messages.See you there!

Heather Burton, Retreat Leader -
In her lifetime, Heather Burton would like to gather and understand the Truth about loving, learning and leading and become wise. For this reason, she is particularly grateful to have listened to Oliver DeMille speak about the educations of the founders of the United States about 12 years ago. Since that pivotal meeting, Thomas Jefferson Education principles have served an active role in Heather's life and in her family. Sharing principles of TJED-based Leadership Education has become part of Heather's personal mission. She has been fortunate to present community education classes, deliver workshops and speeches at homeschool conferences and teachers' conventions, and organize events based on the TJED model pretty much across Canada and the U.S. Her favorite part of this is the good people she meets. Heather lives on a "townfolk" farm in a log cabin in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies with her husband Allan and their children who range in age from 3 to 20. The Burton family currently includes five llamas, four Eastern European German Shepherds, sixteen Tennessee Walking Horses, and a hen house of chickens. Heather loves to learn with her family, read, write, putter in the kitchen with whole foods, hike, and grow things. She works from her home for The Arbinger Institute as Director of Community Services, which she also loves, and serves as the president of the Leadership Education Association of Families and Friends (LEAFF). From September to May, she mentors Scholar Phase students in math and science.
