Wren College

Wren is the place where exploration meets imagination. It is our community thrive. We sit with each other to explore and grow into something brilliant and magnificent. We seem to come up with common themes that are earth and community and neighborhood based each time we participate in Wren. This is pure magic. And miracles are born when we listen and leap into the nell of life with hearts and eyes wide open. Open your eyes, little wren. Let us have a window into your dreams and the poem of your lifebeat.

The following courses and workshops are offered at Wren College. These courses are also offered at Wren Residential College and Dakon University College. Home schooling teachers use them to design studies for younger students. Courses and workshops will be offered in many community locations and in Tea Thyme Villages in varying schedules based on need. It is possible to study and work full time depending on your degree program. Groups last fifty minutes.

Wren College can be in a house, business, sanctuary, community center, municipal building, shopping center or another location and it is called a Wren House.

Wren and the Twelve Steps are offered in one and a half hour sessions with business musica included. Participants do art and journaling exercises and a facilitator reads the program and guides the discussion with the group.

Wren is getting so creative that we often make up new Wren groups as we go along. These are spontaneous learning gardens that sprout roots and leaves and blossoms and fruits as we settle in as gardenistas and greenistas and herbalists and farmers. Wren is conscious because we are. Let the wild rumpus begin, you little monster bird. And if you want to, record it in your journal of studies and take it to the Curriculum Response Team.

These courses are university programs. We will have in web (on the phone) and online studies. Our Director of Technology, Nathan supports us with this.

We are getting so advanced in our writing and our design and our studies together that every Wren participant receives a PhD in Writing, Coaching, Beauty Studies, Resiliency, Wellness, Wellness Education, Nourishment, Culture Story, Gardening, Design, Education and Culture and Nell Studies on August 1, 2023. We are also going to graduate as the first wave of Bachelor’s Degree scholars from the Dalai Lama’s Dakon University on December 10, 2023.

You are qualified to be a college professor of Wren based on experience. You will need to submit your curriculum vitae to a Dakon University academic advisor. Then you will be interviewed and allowed to teach.

Registration for graduation for the first wave of degrees for completion in 2023 begins January 15, 2023 with the Dalai Lama’s Institute and studies begin after registration. People can continue to study into 2024 and be the first wave of Master’s Degree Scholars who will graduate on December 10, 2024. The opportunity to continue to study for a PhD will continue into the following year and the first wave of PhD scholars will graduate on December 10, 2025. From 2023 on you will have the opportunity to graduate each year but you must complete a full year of studies beginning in January.

In January of 2026 we will begin the Green Renaissance. This will be a deep dive into art, music, gardening, writing, cooking, beauty studies, masonry and all things artista, poetica, chefista, gardenista, masonry and beauetica. We will focus on developing programs and clubs and guilds and unions instead of Wren centers.

In Spring of 2028 we will begin a new curriculum at Life Roots Healing Institute. This will be less about peer run programs and more like a traditional education setting where the program is designed for you like Wren and the Twelve Steps and Clutter Box and our conferences are. Some career tracks are Justice Roots Practitioner, Officer Roots Practitioner, Wellness Roots Practitioner, Colors Practitioner, Heartsong Practitioner, Rootsong Practitioner, Mason Roots Practitioner, Acoustic Roots Practitioner and Nell Roots Practitioner.

Then we will probably go back into Wren. In this way we are truly a tribal community that has collective knowledge and educational aspirations. Our One World Wellness Tribe will always move as a team with our Morning Meeting.

When you start your Wren studies, if you would prefer to start at the high school level no matter your age if you are fourteen or older you will graduate with a high school diploma and your PhDs as described above from Dakon University after three years of studies. High Schools are called Wren Studios. They should be in houses in neighborhoods.

If you feel a sacred calling to write curriculum for any of these degree courses we welcome you to join the team of writers for that course. If you are on the curriculum team for any course and you wish to write a book by the course’s title you may if the curriculum team approves it. You may not use these course titles as websites or as business names. Joining a curriculum team can be arranged through the Dalai Lama’s Institute. Curriculum teams may make handouts that are distributed through email to center coordinators but there will not be websites for courses because these courses are dynamic and inspiration-based. We do not want a cult following.

Each group is sacred. The facilitator is responsible for holding the field. The field is the group’s wellness and well-being. We have to create a safe community together. This means we address disruptive people with directness, honesty and firm boundaries. Then we return to what we were doing and continue our work with joy. It is always necessary to have boundaries. We are not yet safe as a tribe. We can take this to the mason lodges as needed. We must learn to be unwavering in our support for each other’s wellness and in our deep integrity as sacred healers.

Center Coordinators are also available to hold the space for us and to protect us from people that like to harm. Center Coordinators are Executive Directors and work together as a team and run their individual centers. Coordinators may only run one center.

Participants in the Wren programs are just as valued and essential as the people that have the sacred call to lead them. We are now one global tribe. People from all castes, even the lowest ones and from all circumstances, and from all walks of life, and from all ancestry and lineages have joined us. This is incredibly life-giving to us. And we love you. Love, love love. Let’s just open our hearts and love again and again. That truly is the sacred medicine of our tribe.

If you find yourself wondering how to be a student and a follower but not a leader remember that you are a scholar and a seeker and a luminary and a sacred listener. And you like to learn. A lot of people will want to study for a long time. And a lot of people will want to have full-time professions doing lots of things for the living economy. Others will want to be full-time parents of the children they adopt and already have and be available for homeschooling. Find your most clear and beautiful expression for yourself in your heart by taking a moment to go in. Whatever you choose is perfect for you and all of us. What is your sacred word right at this moment? Let this guide you for your best life.
