What is SEAL? - a view from Argentina
SEAL is an organisation founded in the UK in 1983, to promote holistic humanistic learning.
SEAL is an umbrella organisation which fosters the development of its ideas both in the UK and abroad.
It could also be defined as an international society exploring methods of learning, particularly those which make use of the preconscious dimension.
SEAL members are people who care about the future of education, who regard constant innovation as essential if education is to keep up with the progress of knowledge and technology in our society.
They need to stay informed and constantly pursue their own personal development. SEAL offers them a network to stay in touch with like-minded enthusiasts through activities and events organised both in Argentina and in other countries.
Benefits of becoming a member?
The benefits of membership are, amongst others, to receive the Journals and Newsletters published twice a year by the society in England, preferential fees for all events organised in Argentina and England which include biannual Conferences, and to join in the network of like-minded people in more than twenty-four countries in the world.
SEAL publishes two journals and two newsletters that are sent to members over a year. Members have also the benefit of substantial discounts in all SEAL events: workshops and conferences, both in Argentina and in the UK.
And, perhaps, most importantly SEAL can be the threshold to enhance the quality of our life. Of course, this clearly depends on our own deep intentions, as energy flows where intention goes! An example of the wonders that wonderful intention brings is reflected in a letter that a member wrote to me, in answer to a thank-you note that I had written to her for being the constant support to SEAL activities in Argentina since day one...

| 'Dear Vero, It's so relieving to know I have so many real friends I can count on! Thank you for your caring card. Now I need to be honest with you. I don't support SEAL in Argentina out of generosity but out of true selfishness. SEAL has helped me so much in discovering my own self. Through SEAL I became aware of all my potential. Though SEAL I realized that there is a way and that I'm good enough to find it....or that there are many ways, rather. Through SEAL I discovered that I've got WINGS and that flying is as easy as walking (though much more fascinating). That flying entails risks that are worth running. That there's room in the air for me to fly; that there are no limits in the sky unless I create them. Through SEAL I learnt that there's not just one dimension in my life but as many I'm willing to accept. This list can be endless. That's why you needn't be thankful to me. It's not something that I do on a conscious level, but something that has become part of my whole self. Or has my self become part of it? With butterfly kisses and elephant hugs. Lots of love Fabiana Parano |
