TEACHER AS HEALER:
How to Create a School Culture of Wholeness, Wellness, and Peaceful Living Paperback – August 29, 2022
TEACHER AS HEALER is
designed for all spiritually- and peace-oriented elementary school
teachers, parents, school psychologists, and principals of all faiths.
It acknowledges, gently and universally, a Higher Power—the Creator of
all that exists, of all that we teach and learn about.
This book
aims to cultivate upright human behavior and peaceful living in our
schools, homes and society. In a world rife with widespread conflict,
both inner and outer, violence and war, this book empowers educators and
parents to make a positive impact by fostering a culture of wellness.
It advocates for a soul-centered, therapeutically informed approach to
education that nurtures the whole person—physically, emotionally,
socially, mindfully, and spiritually.
To accomplish the above, TEACHER AS HEALER
offers practical tools and teaching strategies within a brilliant,
holistic, and all-inclusive educational framework that incorporates
everything one teaches, from the macrocosm to the microcosm. This book
also reveals a suggested curriculum program that you can emulate to show
how your teaching can be plugged into it. It is an essential teaching
resource with worksheets and a practical curriculum guide, offering
beneficial programs, ‘therapeutic’ tools, charts, pictures, and helpful
teaching and learning strategies for children to joyfully learn best,
and for teachers to heartfully teach best.
Emphasizing the urgent need to reclaim spirituality in our educational system, TEACHER AS HEALER guides readers on how to gently and universally
integrate spirituality and consciousness into their educational
practices. It offers many practical ways to embed upright universal
spiritual values, virtues, ethics, unity, loving-kindness, respect for
differences, conflict resolution, humane relationships, and ecological
awareness into one's curriculum, along with 7 Universal Principles of
Upstanding Human Conduct known as the 7 Noahide Laws. All these elements
are essential for enhancing our relationships with ourselves, others,
society, and the world around us. All are essential to help bring Heaven
down to Earth.
The foundation of TEACHER AS HEALER
is the author’s doctoral research at McGill University, recognized on
the Dean's Honor List for its potential positive impact on our youth and
society. This research underscores the book's comprehensive approach to
integrating spiritual and therapeutic elements into education, making
it an invaluable resource for fostering holistic development and a
culture of peaceful living.

"TEACHER AS HEALER
is an all-encompassing attempt to answer the questions of what should
be taught to our children and what role teachers (and parents) should
play in implementing the important goals of education.
... Who
should read this book? I believe that it is a valuable resource for
anyone with a serious interest in education. It contains theoretical
educational perspectives as well as practical programs. For all
educators currently in the field, teachers, administrators and parents, I
highly recommend dipping into this book and preferably studying it
thoroughly. For prospective teachers, I suggest that reading this book
should be a requirement. I would like to see copies in the libraries of
teacher-training institutions and professional libraries in schools
throughout the world."
