Conscious Pregnancy, Birth & Parenting - Youth Ed. Program
To create a safe space on Maui for young adults to gather, share, view pertinent videos, raise their questions and get meaningful answers about love, relationships, sexuality, conception, gestation, birth and parenting. To my knowledge, young people have nowhere to go to get this type of information
What advice do you have to help me grow my idea?
Idea Description
My idea is to open an alternative educational facility for youth, ages 16 and up, and offer a curriculum that will assist them in learning the tools necessary to preserve love in families forever. Emphasis will be placed on teaching them how to create healthy relationships, how to stay in integrity with their sexual behavior, how to make conscious decisions about whether to become pregnant or not, how to create a healthy, joy-filled pregnancy and a joyful, gentle birth, and how to parent consciously. Principles outlined in the Anastasia series of books will be utilized as part of the curriculum.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I will use the $10,000 to rent a proper space on Maui to offer this curriculum and begin holding weekly "gatherings" to bring young people together to discuss these most important issues. The gatherings will be offered on a donation basis so that everyone will have access to the information. I will also use the $10,000 to promote the "school" through various methods of advertising.

Post a commentI like the idea of teaching older students the realities of parenting, but am I the only person who is a little concerned with starting this program at 12 years old?
You have worked long and courageously on this project. This could be a great stroke of encouragement for you. I wish you all the best.
This is a very important program. The children being born now are part of our evolution and are even more sensitive than in past to experiences in the womb, during birth and during their first two years of life. It is vital that our young people receive the information and skills to consciously conceive, birth and parent the new children generation of children who are coming. Once it is established, it needs to spread throughout the country.
It really is a lot of work, considering that many did try their best in promoting and educating the youth with regards to sexual education. It just seems that when they get there, they tend to forget everything they've learned. But the idea is really good.
This is what's really needed. Schools were originally instituted not out of consideration for the ordinary people but because at the time of industilization a need arose for workers that had enough skills to work in factories and offices! For this reason the basics like relationship, child rearing, investing etc. are not part of the curriculum.
How do you propose to be different to the competition ? Seems like you need to tighten your value proposition before trying to raise funds.
