After studying chemistry, which introduced him to the study of the mineral world, and then training as a gardener, which brought him closer to the plant world, Philippe Perennès became involved with the animal world by working on a biodynamic farm in Germany. This was the opportunity for him to discover the activities linked to anthroposophy and the existence of the Steiner schools.

He then followed the Waldorf pedagogy course at the Dornach seminar in Switzerland. After completing this course, he began teaching in Switzerland as a class teacher from 1982 to 1986, and from 1986 to the present day at the Mathias Grunewald School in Colmar, France.

In parallel to this activity, he has dedicated himself to the study of the senses and their development by following his passion for movement (dance, juggling). He has published several essays on this theme: “From the real to the virtual, the migration of sensory perceptions” and “Meeting with the 12 senses”.

Involved in training seminars in France and abroad, he strives to transmit the essential values of pedagogy to seminarians.

Founding executive director of Green Generations
In 2002 she started her educational career as a Teach for America corps member at PS1 in the South Bronx. For almost six years she was a bilingual (Spanish and English) first, second, and third grade teacher and organized and directed an after-school choral program for two years.

Her dream and mission: to create an organization where children, parents, and teachers would learn to develop their potential in a joyful, loving, and respectful environment so they, in turn, can become community leaders, responsible eco-citizens, and make meaningful contributions to the world.
Green Generations is the realization of her vision and culmination of years of teaching experience, study with experts in the field, and extensive research that carried her across America and beyond to the most innovative and cutting-edge schools and green community center initiatives in existence today.

School of Reality
Michael and Della founded it in 2016.
Based on an original approach that bridges psychotherapy and non-duality, the School offers concrete tools to move from the suffering perspective of the separate ego, to the unified perspective of Being and its lived experience in simplicity in everyday life.

“How can we, the adults, re-educate ourselves to accompany the children towards a future of joy and love, free of our limiting conditionings? An awakening of consciousness is necessary. We are called to profoundly change our view of ourselves, our children and what Life is, if we wish, all together, to manifest the potential of humanity to live in peace and respect, in harmony with Mother Earth.

Michaël
