 Who We Are The School of the New Spirituality (SNS) is the vision of Neale Donald Walsch author of the bestselling Conversations with God book series. The SNS encourages like-minded people around the world to join with others in their communities in creating part time programs for young people to explore spiritual, not necessarily religious, concepts regarding peace, unity, and respectful understanding of the beliefs of others. The SNS is comprised of people from all walks of life with a variety of talents and abilities who share one vision ~ to provide children of the world, and their adult leaders, with lessons of consciousness and personal responsibility to themselves and others. We are comprised of a myriad of faiths and races made up of caring and concerned parents, educators, authors, mentors and holistic practitioners, just to name a few. SNS began as "HeartLight" and has been a fully operational organization since 2002. What We Are Doing The intention of the SNS is to undergird the social value system and provide a bridge between separation theologies by examining a multiplicity of worldviews. We adopt no dogma or doctrine. We issue an invitation to young people and adults to examine various belief systems to encourage independent thinking in regards to one's personal answers and philosophies. We strive to serve as a supportive foundation from which communities can launch their personal vision to assist young people with resources for work and play as they learn more about the power of their conscious Divine nature. In SNS programs, the wisdom of the children is honored and respected. How You Can Be Involved You don't need to have impressive credentials, although we certainly embrace those who do. All you need is a shared sense that the children are our future and when we support their development those seeds of consciousness can grow into a force that's capable of changing the world in a positive way. We envision an ushering-in of a time of enlightenment where fear no longer dominates and humanity is enveloped in love, peace and a sense of unity. We believe that you and I are one and what I do to/for you I do to/for myself. There is no right or wrong way to nurture the SNS concept; that's up to what's in your heart and within your ability to create alone or with others. SNS programs take on many forms such as clubs, after school programs, classes, summer camps, retreats, movie viewing, and discussion groups or the potential for more formal venues for people who have established wellness centers and learning institutions. We provide program support through guidance via telephone, email, teleclasses and physical weekend workshops. Our website offers "SNS Steps" such as unit lessons which outline individual "how-to's" from building a business to individual lesson plans which teach children concepts such as Acceptance, We are One, Paying it Forward, and What I Give I Get Back. Our units show how to use the messages in the Conversations with God book series and consciously integrate numerous spiritual leaders' works as well. With the SNS team supportive infrastructure and the freedom to create what works best for your personal circumstances, the possibilities of positively impacting the lives of young people are endless. If you prefer to co-create with others while getting involved with the SNS, you can go to our SNS Connection page to find like-minded others in your area. You can also post information there about yourself so that others can find you. You are only limited by your imagination and the amount of time and energy you have to contribute to your commitment to help kids learn and have fun the SNS way. We hope you'll join us!
