AAA's Master of Mindfulness curricular offering equips our children with the tools to both autonomously practice mindfulness, and to also build wise foundations of emotional intelligence mastery as a motive for transforming their lives.

Mystery Schools are ancient.  While modern education seeks to funnel our children into a machine in order to further energize the norms of the status quo, the Indigo Child Mystery School holds space for our youth to strengthen their indigo-awareness, to see the truth in everything, to polish their capacities for discerning  truth from illusion, and to explore the invisible sciences of the non-material, Ancestral world.
