About Flo Schell

Flo Schell, EdM, Welcomes You To

A SPACE FOR ACTIVE WISDOM

a place for emerging humans 


Flo Schell
Hello to you!
 
The past several years have found me growing and learning; learning and growing.
 
The learning came at a time when I was feeling betwixt and between.
 
The growing caught up with the learning after much reflection and deep internal work.
 
The result?
 
A new set of offerings for you.
 
Let me tell you more!

The onset of our country's recession caused enormous changes in most everyone's life.
 
It offered individuals and small business owners the chance to look within themselves.
 
To see if what they had been doing still worked for them.
 
Or if there was a course correction that needed to be taken.
 
I was fortunate to be able to spend time figuring out my own next phase.
 
 I sought out new mentors. Learned new and inspiring ideas.
Took training sessions. Did my own deep thinking. Created a course for my community.
 
During this time I talked and worked with brilliant teachers.
 
And wrote a book for women in my own age group.
 
Special women.
 
Women who are ready to be Wise Ones in the world.
 

My Intention?
 
I hope that women everywhere will take the time to journey through their own lives.
 
So I wrote a story that simplified my 8 days of intensive instruction.
 
And I took photographs wherever I went to add depth and beauty to the story. 
 
The result is my newest book
 
Wisdom of the 8 Bowls
a modern myth for women at mid-life and beyond
 
 
This four-color book is 40 pages in length. It combines my own photography with magical text.
 
It tells the tale of how a life can be brightened again.
 
No matter where you are right now. 
 
 
I wrote it in the I hope that it will provide a pathway to change in your life. 
 
 
I am indebted to special teachers for the learning I accrued.
 
Jean Houston's intensive training, Initiation of the Sage, heightened my life immeasurably.
 
Mary Catherine Bateson, cultural anthropologist and author, through her book
Composing a Further Life
provided a new and empowered way to look at the aging process and taught me what is possible. 

 
What Is Active Wisdom?
 
The phrase Active Wisdom reflects Mary Catherine's brilliance.
 
She coined this phrase and others.
Bateson's tells us that this phrase describes how we can be in the stage of life that falls roughly between the years 55 and 70, but can begin as early as 40 and move well into the 80's.
This. she tells us, is a time of active engagement.
 
She explains that these years provide a time to reflect on what you have already done knowing that it is not too late to do something more or different.
 
She sees us as being our most talented and skilled at this stage of life and
hopefully wiser than ever before. 
 
What then, she asks, will we do with this wisdom?
 
Well, friends, that is our job.
 
To combine the wisdom that has developed over many years
with active engagement in our communities,
our regions, and perhaps the world at large.
 
If this feels right for you, please reach out and say hello.
There is much good work yet to be done.
