CC writes: “I attended a workshop for early childhood ed and the presenter urged us all to change our curriculums to really emphasize a nature/environmental focus by bringing the outdoors inside and continue with lessons and experiences continuously taking the kids’ lead in areas of interest. She used words like POSITIVE ENERGY in the classroom and even showed how to arrange it using lights and shadows and organizing materials using specific colors in a color pattern; also bringing in a couch, stones and water fountains instead of tables and desks. I couldn’t stand being there because it felt like a new age atmosphere. We were silent for awhile. She asked us what we thought almost like she was hoping for a positive response. Do I have reason to be concerned or am I overreacting?”

Can Catholics Be Involved in Krishna Consciousness?
Hare Krishna devotees dancing and singing
We received a question from a reader who is concerned about a loved one who is Catholic and yet uses Hare Krishna beads, subscribes to Back to Godhead magazine and believes the mind can control our destiny. Can Catholics be involved in these activities?
