Dear all, Hallo!
I miss you, and your wonderful school, very, very much! I learned and grew so much in it, and you all taught me so much that I feel I can never thank you enough.

I remember all your words of wisdom, generosity, kind smiles and hospitality. You also gave me the freedom to create activities and projects at my own will, to take my time and adapt to your school’s culture and educational ways in a way that was very gentle and accepting. And that is more precious than I could ever put it in words!
I can still see you around the table, on the couches, discussing with great ease, interest and affection, all the kids’ issues, their problems, wishes and dreams, and all the ways in which you could help them.
I was puzzled at first, and lost for words (could it really work? could your methods really work?), but in time, I saw and understood the wonderful changes that took place in the children when they were corrected in their behaviors with gentleness, understanding and love; when they were being given the opportunity to discover the things around them (and themselves) on their own; most of all, when they were encouraged to emphasize and treasure feelings, kind words and deeds more than material things and possessions. It is such a fresh, humanistic and so much needed approach, especially in the Western culture, that we can not have enough schools like LWS!
I believe it is hard to find a school that nurtures and strives to teach children beautiful and simple ways of living, oriented towards self-expression, kindness, and acceptance. But you are doing exactly that, and it is magical!
There is nothing more potent in the self-realization of a human being (and I stress that, completely and wholesome HUMAN), than to give them freedom and a safe environment in which to grow following their own rhythms.
And you have given the same to me!
Thank you once more

So ein allgemein achtsamer und bewusster Umgang miteinander und mit der Umwelt, der in der LWS gelebt wird, hat mich sehr geprägt für meine berufliche Laufbahn: so wie ich mit Menschen umgehe, und was ich auch in der Welt erreichen möchte: was Gutes zu hinterlassen und Leute zu inspirieren.
Es ist für mich sehr wichtig, dass Menschen aus der Schule kommen, die freie Entscheidungen treffen können, die innovativ vernetzt denken können, die Sachen anpacken können und selbständig denken und handeln können. Das ist das, was wir in Zukunft brauchen werden – viel mehr noch als wir uns das vorstellen können.
