A few years ago I took a Philosophy course with Susan Gardner. She was friends with (tall) Matt and Aaron who both took her class a few years before me. I met her again last semester and she invited me to the P4C (Philosophy for Children) conference here in Vancouver. The timing was perfect, I submitted final grades for my summer course at the end of June and then I was off to the 3 day conference.

And here is the next connection to another era of my life… At the conference I listened to a presentation about my previous job. Margaret & Warren talked about the work they’ve been doing with the children and teachers 🙂 I could imagine everything so clearly and loved seeing everyone in a video about their project.

And of course a connection to the present: One of my students also attended the conference. She has taken Yoga classes with Ainsley many years ago and we’ve bumped into each other several times on a Friday night at the Quay.
