The TAO Metaversity is an environment that bridges what learning environments have represented up to this point, in additional to, what is opening up in each individual and the universe. The TAO Metaversity recognizes that each individual intrinsically holds what they spend their lives searching for. The curriculum’s focus is on coming to learn less and experiencing more. In experiencing more, we remember the knowing we have and begin the process of releasing external skills making room for internal realities. As we begin this recognition of internal knowing, we see the connection in all aspects of life regardless of the external venues they are represented through. Seeing the connection in all aspects of life is what is recognized.
The TAO Metaversity is an educational environment dedicated to the “additional” learning that is not included in K-PhD and beyond. The whole person is acknowledged and is encouraged to include the spirit, cultivate imagination, fuel the intellect and remind us that we are citizens of ecological communities.
This environment and the spaces created in this environment, must cultivate vision, imagination, ascetic and spiritual sensitivity, gentleness, generosity, caring and compassion. With that at the forefront, the students and teachers integrate those values into education, environmental studies, inner dimensional studies, business, medicine, science and the arts. This educational environment is available to all ages to invite the wonder in each of us to be integrated into all areas of our lives.
In addition, we are committed to the principles of nondiscrimination in all terms and conditions of employment. We do not discriminate against applicants of employees on the basis of age, race, gender, color, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation or any other status protected by law.
We ask that applicants for all our positions are committed to active participation in this growth process and have a willingness to work with people from all backgrounds.
