Residential Student Program
Jude Dickerson
Iâve always had an interest in animals and in living more closely to nature. I first developed an interest in spirituality by listening to Alan Watts and then Krishnamurti. I explored the connections between these interests while doing an avian monitoring job in Wyoming, where I was immersed in the open sagebrush landscape and engaged in observation of eagles, which required me to sit and watch the sky for movement, but also allowed me to listen to talks and audiobooks by these authors.

Oak Grove School
The Art of Aesthetics
All forms of art are explored at Oak Grove. A study of poetry has a profound capacity to touch, move, and impact the writer and the reader at their most vulnerable and emotional levels. Students find that poetry can be uplifting, dark, whimsical, exuberant, discerning, mysterious, or prickly, as well as a powerful tool for resistance, activism, or exploration of the self. The study of and the opportunity to write original pieces of poetry begin in early childhood and continue through high school.

The Urgency of Change
Online May Gathering
We have chosen a theme that we feel is extremely relevant in light of all the challenges the world has gone through in 2020 and continues to face in 2021. This is also the title of a book that was published 50 years ago, and the topics it touches upon are as striking now as they were then. The focus of this Online May Gathering is to have speakers, panels, and dialogues aiming at exploring what this theme means and to look at it in a wide context.

Dissemination
Reaching New Audiences
The dissemination of Krishnamurtiâs teachings represents one of the Foundationâs central activities; the internet and social media platforms provide an increasingly important venue for this task. We particularly recognize the compelling need to reach those not yet aware of Krishnamurti and his teachings, while also presenting the opportunity to go deeper and study the teachings in their totality. Our online presence through our webpages and platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube has continued to grow.

The theme of the year at the KFA is The Urgency of Change. The book by this title, originally published in 1970, is unique compared to many classic Krishnamurti books. The book was prepared by Mary Lutyens, who worked on many of Krishnamurtiâs bestselling works. In one of her biographies of K titled The Life and Death of Krishnamurti, she recalls...
