Authentic Life
Largo Canyon School’s mission is to facilitate transformation and make a positive difference in the evolution of the individual, the workplace, the community, and the planet.
We believe in:
treading lightly on the planet,
appreciating whatever we encounter,
letting things happen,
living in the essence, and
the beauty of ambiguity.
Our World
We do not live an ordinary existence.
We are surrounded by thousands of archaeological sites.
Our high desert location requires tenacity and resilience.
The Lifestyle
An abandoned school building from the last century became our project.
Minimalism,
at it’s essence
We provide meals and accommodations sufficient for your explorations
Escaping from the Mundane World
When you leave the pavement behind and wind your way down our rocky canyon, the rest of the world is left behind. We live in a different dimension, one that doesn’t have crowds, credit cards, pagers, pressure, or air pollution. We live in a dimension dominated by natural processes: time, wind, rain, and sunlight. When it gets cold, we build a fire. It’s a very simple and authentic reality. The coyotes howl outside the window, really.
If you have never left the work-a-day world before and gone off to a truly lonely spot, you might find yourself crying at first. It’s a shock that quickly passes. Then you fall in love with the peace and stillness. In the quietness of our imperfect, incomplete, and impermanent reality, you can sense your inner fire and know who you are. Your core self emerges. In the halls of this ancient school house, you will become more like the child you once were.
The hard part is leaving this sheltered environment to return to the mundane world you left just days ago.
