In some families, parents find themselves unable to enter helpful conversations with a son or daughter. Attempts to talk about concerns result in a conversation of blame through words or silence. The times for teaching and learning together are few and far between, if not at all. For these families, we offer an opportunity to significantly improve their relationship through a “walking” in the wilderness.
Mission Statement
It is the mission of the ANASAZI Foundation to prepare parents and children to turn their hearts to one another, begin anew, and walk-in harmony in the wilderness of the world.
A Change of Heart
“At ANASAZI, the children come first. We come second. To free themselves from worldly cares, I counsel our people to ‘drop their burdens at the gate’ and tend to the needs of the YoungWalkers on the trail. We strive to remind ourselves that the ANASAZI Way is not to change the behavior of the YoungWalker or the Parents, but to provide opportunities for the heart to be touched, so the change can come willingly from the ‘one who stands within.’ Then the Change of Heart, like clear water, will flow without compulsion.”
