Secret to a Happy Heart – Finding Wonderland

“The secret is to surround yourself with people who make your heart smile. It’s then, only then, that you’ll find Wonderland.” Lize Venter speaks of her lost innocence through abuse that cast a dark line through her childhood, causing fear and nightmares. She shares her current life filled with love of her family and the many animals who are part of that family, as she urges viewers to surround themselves with those who bring out the best in them, the ones who help them to bloom. "It’s like a mental shift to look for treasures and to look for Wonderland." Trigger warning: this film contains reference to sexual abuse which may be triggering to some viewers. If you have been affected by a similar issue and you need someone to talk to, please reach out to an organization or individual near you for help.

World Peace & Other 4th Grade Achievements

Says one fourth grader, “One of the things I learned is that other people matter. In this game one person can’t win, everyone has to win. That taught me a lot about cooperating with other people, being generous, and having an attitude that, if you work together, you can achieve anything.” { read more }

Be The Change

In this engaging talk, Hunter explains how his World Peace Game engages schoolkids, and why the complex lessons it teaches — spontaneous, and always surprising — go further than classroom lectures can. { more }
