Cultivating "Emergence" as a response to the emergency of our time.
Description
Gloria Cooper is a veteran public school teacher who has dedicated her life to empowering youth. She and her husband started New Age Academy, a private school in Berkeley in 1981, to help at-risk middle school children by providing emotional and physical nourishment. After running the school for 25 years, Gloria designed the Sophia project in 2007 to provide education and support to children who have experienced trauma, neglect, and abuse. The project aims to create a safe and nurturing environment for these children to help them heal and develop skills to thrive in their lives. Additionally, the project advocates for a society that values and supports all children, irrespective of their background or circumstances, to create a world that is emotionally and spiritually balanced.
