Alta Vista Education Centers : 1997 - 2019: David Cassani - founder


 In 1989 came a vision of two buildings (workshop garages)  joined together,,,, a larger building on the east  joined a smaller facility on the west side . Years later, we found such a site and  in 1997 we did extensive remodeling - major  foundation work - joining this eastern and western space and adding  a second and third level. For years, the thought that buildings reflect deeper spiritual truths returned to me again and agin. 


This is were we started a  building that we had no idea would become a symbol  for a new higher - simple way of life. So many are running into one wall, then another - frustrated...yet a simple door has opened to another way. Leaders are awakening to such a life and many are following them.  Typically 1-3 % of the population are those gifted leaders who bring us to a new way of life. If you sense that calling in your life, we are seeking those leaders to train and serve your needs as you help others. 


Leaders join together to learn together  how a small group of people can over 3-10 years tip the consciousness of  communities to supporting a new way of life.
