Venus Rising University: the Time is NOW.

When the wisdoms of the skies (tech­nol­ogy) merge with the wisdoms of the earth (the natural world) and we braid them through the wisdom of the human heart, we are able to deeply trans­form and inte­grate ourselves and step into our Visionary Leadership in the world. Watch this power­ful two-minute video by VRU grad­u­ates, Kent Bye & Jen Gouvea, about what we are teach­ing at Venus Rising University.

“Education is not the fill­ing of a pail but the light­ing of a fire.“ —William Butler Yeats
