There's an old saying,
"When the student is ready the teacher will appear."
In order to teach, we must learn, and in order to learn, we must
heal. We teach what we need to learn and we
learn what we need to teach. When we teach (heal) others, we
heal ourselves even more.
Even
though the lines are blurred between healing, learning and
teaching, it's important for us to take the time to walk for a
while in each role so we know what they are so we'll be
ready.
For when the time comes we will respond
and appear. Yet who will we be? Teacher or
student? Healer or healed?

Letter
from the Dean
The School of Tantra employs confluent learning--the
synergizing of intellectual, emotional and behavioral
learning. You learn ideas, anchor them in your feelings and
sensations and do useful things with the ideas.
Phase 1: Healing and Learning for Yourself: In one of our
courses, for example, you learn concepts (such as forgiving a past
abuser whom you confuse with someone you know now), re-enact a
situation with an abuser, notice the bodily reactions and
decisions you made in the abuse situation. You
psychodramatically express feelings beyond what you were able to
do in the original situation. You then enact a abuse-free
alternative situation that lets you revise self-limiting decisions
you imprinted during the abuse. You then relate without
confusion to the person who reminds you of your
abuser. So that's phase 1, learning confluently,
healing your hurts, lessening your limitations, supporting your
pleasures and potentials. You use what you learn for
yourself.
In phase 2: To teach, we must
learn; to learn, we must
heal. When we teach (heal) others, we
heal ourselves even more.
We teach what we need to learn; we
learn what we need to teach.
At
the School of Tantra, we experience ourselves as the healed,
healers and teachers of healers. It's important for us to take the time to walk for a
while in each role so we know what they are.
