“It is every mother's dream to have a beautiful, intelligent and healthy child! Yet mothers need to
understand that 90% of their opportunity to influence a child’s development occurs while the child
is still growing within the womb. After birth, the influence of parents and educators on the child’s
development is comparatively minimal. Careful preliminary training is needed, ideally for both
parents. For example, before beginning her work, a mother can learn how to provide her
child with the best possible "raw materials" for "building" its physical and psychic bodies.
She can be educated in directing her mind consciously, so that she can
symbolically "cover" her future child with "gold."
There are many examples of mothers who have worked
successfully in this way, bringing into the world healthy and well-balanced children. The promise
of a brighter future for humanity is closely linked with prenatal education. Through appropriate prenatal
education our current violence-oriented society can gradually be transformed into a saner, better balanced
and more creative generation of human beings…"
Through its educational model, IDEAL Society offers a global approach to parenting covering not only the period of gestation, but also the pre-conception and post-natal periods. The favorable environment created at IDEAL Society enables mothers and fathers to use their creative potential to offer their child the most positive influences during the period of pregnancy, and during the post-natal period. The mother's nourishing and conscious thoughts, emotions and behavior will act upon the baby's new and vulnerable nervous system and contribute to his healthy psychological and physical development.
IDEAL Society is planning to build a prenatal education centre where specialists in various fields will assist, instruct and prepare future parents, pregnant women and young students from local and international communities. IDEAL Society intends to create a worldwide network of pre and post-natal health centers, using the IDEAL Society Centre in Canada as a model, in order to reach a greater number of future parents.
" At IDEAL Society we are encouraged to be ourselves subjects for our own study, including our thoughts and feelings in order to become better people and parents. We offer the fruit of that labor to our children. For me this is a new way of looking at education and the only way, because it comes not from the outside but from within…"
Ahimsa Gilbert, mother of two
``have assisted two mothers in giving birth at IDEAL Society and I think midwifery has a special place here. The needs of future parents are met by a team of caring therapists and they are surrounded by many forms of arts. The focus of the community is to provide a loving and supportive environment for the benefit of the future child…``
