Safety, feeling at home, trust, self-confidence, creativity and comfort in exploring the world are things all children should have. From an early age, children form attachments that become the foundation for their future relationships. Strong bonds with their world (parents, educators, plants, and animals) must begin with a healthy connection to themselves. With practical tips and real-life examples from an experienced educator, this insightful book explores how the process of healthy attachment develops in young children (until six years old), what conditions are needed for becoming well bonded, and how care providers and educators can help in this important process.

“In both a compelling memoir and a valuable testament, Claire Hoffman tells of the struggle to find her own path to truth while growing up amid the distractions and contradictions of a guru’s prescribed utopia. Her triumph, and the reminder for us all, is in excusing the external guru and trusting the guide within.” (Melissa Coleman, author of This Life is in Your Hands)
“In both a compelling memoir and a valuable testament, Claire Hoffman tells of the struggle to find her own path to truth while growing up amid the distractions and contradictions of a guru’s prescribed utopia. Her triumph, and the reminder for us all, is in excusing the external guru and trusting the guide within.” (Lawrence Wright, Pulitzer Prize -winning author of The Looming Tower)
“Claire Hoffman brilliantly captures a world that is at once familiar and exotic, yet it is more than that. It is about the meaning of faith in the modern world and how the simple desire for spiritual connection can sometimes lead to devastating consequences. I love it.” (Reza Aslan, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Zealot)
“As fascinating and unsettling as discovering a magical Oz in the middle of Kansas, Hoffman’s unflinching memoir presents a remarkable landscape unlike any we’re familiar with, one in which its narrator navigates her troubled way through a youth colored utterly by the cultlike atmosphere in which she finds herself. Dark, powerful, and ultimately uplifting, Greetings from Utopia Park is a book to be pondered and savored.” (Val Brelinski, author of The Girl Who Slept with God)
“[A] wise, funny, and fascinating book.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
“Wonderfully intimate: a cautionary tale that develops into one of inspiring self-determination.” (Booklist)
In this engrossing memoir, Claire Hoffman recounts the remarkable years she spent growing up in an increasingly isolated meditation community in the American heartland.
When Claire Hoffman’s alcoholic father abandons his family, his struggling wife, Liz, tells five-year-old Claire and her seven-year-old brother, Stacey, that they are going to heaven—Iowa—to live in Maharishi’s national headquarters for Heaven on Earth. For Claire’s mother, Transcendental Meditation—Maharishi’s method of meditation and his approach to living the fullest possible life—promises world peace and Enlightenment just as their family is falling apart.
At first this secluded utopia offers warmth and support, and makes these outsiders feel calm, secure, and connected to the world. At the Maharishi School, Claire learns Maharishi’s philosophy for living and meditates with her class. With the promise of peace and Enlightenment constantly on the horizon, every day is infused with magic and meaning. But as Claire and Stacey mature, their adolescent skepticism kicks in, drawing them away from the community and into delinquency and drugs. To save herself, Claire moves to California to live with her father, breaking from Maharishi completely. After she works for a decade in journalism and academia, the challenges of adulthood propel her back to Iowa, where she reexamines her spiritual upbringing and tries to reconnect with the magic of her childhood.
Greetings from Utopia Park takes us deep into a complex, unusual world, illuminating its joys and comforts as well as its disturbing problems. While there is no utopia on earth, Hoffman finds, there are noble goals worth striving for: believing in belief itself, finding inner peace, and reaching a firm understanding that there is a larger fabric of the universe to which we all belong.
Claire Hoffman writes for national magazines and holds a master’s degree in religion from the University of Chicago and a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University. She was a staff reporter for the Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone. She serves on the board of her family foundation, the Goldhirsh Foundation, as well as ProPublica and the Columbia School of Journalism. She lives in Los Angeles, California.

It is currently estimated that over six million people are affected by some form of dementia. Because people are living long, that number will double over the next ten years. Over 50 per cent of people over 85 years of age suffer from some form of dementia, and dementia is newly diagnosed every five minutes. If you know no one with some form of dementia now, the odds are that someone in your family or circle of friends will be affected very soon. (2016-08-05)
