Moving to Costa Rica is rarely just a physical relocation; it is a spiritual "unfolding." As we leave behind the rigid structures of the North, we enter a land of immense vitality and "out-breath." For the child, who is still deeply in the process of incarnating - of finding their way into their physical body and the world - this vastness can feel both wondrous and overwhelming.

We are currently standing at a frontier. Behind us lies a crumbling industrial model of education designed for a world that no longer exists. Ahead of us is a mist-covered landscape shaped by Artificial Intelligence, shifting job markets, and a fundamental questioning of the "university-to-career" pipeline.

As an educator for 25 years and a mother, I see the confusion in parents' eyes. They ask: How will my child be ready for university in ten years? What jobs will even exist? How do we compete with machines?

The answer isn't to make our children more like computers. It is to make them more vibrantly, defiantly human.
