Eagle Wings

Eagle’s Wings Seminars on Leadership & Life Skills are unique, dynamic programs designed to challenge and equip young people to achieve true greatness in life. They not only impart practical knowledge but also the structure and motivation for creative, purposeful living. This promotes education in the full sense: the balanced, skillful integration of the whole person – mind, body and spirit. Because these programs are given in a variety of contexts, including public schools, various allowances are made for content.
