"Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain"

 

 

  

"Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, released in 2008, is the culmination of years of experience with the brain body connection, new research data, and the synthesis of biological sciences.  Spark is revolutionizing how we see the human species. A call to return to our evolutionary roots; to get in sync with our metabolic design honed through eons of survival to optimize mental and physical health.   Dr. Ratey is the spark that will set your old paradigms on fire, which will clear your mind to see a new vision for mankind, and inflame a passion of commitment to create a healthy future for our posterity." (Information taken from http://www.johnratey.com/newsite/profile.html.)

In  1998, two independent schools in Lexington, Kentucky, began a collaborative partnership with an idea and a plan. The plan was to bring a parenting speaker to Lexington, primarily for the benefit of our parent bodies, and also to work with our faculties and provide a forum open to the community at large. That partnership has evolved into the Unity in Education Lecture Series.

Celebrating its 10th year in 2009, the Series is funded by administrative and Parents’ Association funds. Speakers are chosen and the event planned by a committee comprised of volunteers from both schools. The Series benefits from strong administrative support and enjoys attendance ranging from 150 – 500.
