MIND EDUCATION
SEE THE WORLD OF THE HEART WITH
NO AMOUNT OF CLASSROOM LEARNING CAN TEACH US HOW TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER,
HEART TO HEART. MIND EDUCATION IS A SET OF INSIGHTFUL LECTURES AND ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW US TO EXPLORE A SPACE THAT WE MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT:
THE "WORLD OF THE HEART"
THE ROLE OF MIND EDUCATION IN IYF
International Youth Fellowship is celebrating its 27th year of helping young people become leaders, but IYF Founder Pastor Ock Soo Park has spent the past 55+ years counseling people of all walks of life and of all sorts of circumstances, helping them to discover hope in the midst of hardship and despair.
Mind Education is a distillation of all this global experience–a unique curriculum that both uncovers the “world of the heart” that we all possess, and helps us tap into our potential to change the world starting with ourselves.
Mind Lectures are currently offered through IYF branches in over 80 countries. These sessions lay the foundation of all IYF programming, whether during IYF events (education) or for IYF volunteering opportunities (training for dispatch).
About Navigating the Heart: Who is Dragging You?
Get decades of counseling and outreach experience boiled down into one practical guide for understanding and developing the “world of the heart.” Navigating the Heart is filled with case studies, practical advice, and important lessons on how to think deeper and live fuller.
This publication is currently used as a textbook in high schools, colleges, and trade schools, and is a hand book for parents, educators, and professionals in charge of developing their staff members.
