Can we ever leave the Upland Hills Learning Community?

The simple answer is no.
We first visited Upland Hills Farm School in October of 1971, the school had opened a few weeks earlier. At that time the school was located on Upland Hills Farm. The school occupied a space in a very large barn that burned to the ground some years after we had already moved to our Indian Lake Road location. In this large barn with a huge hayloft, Upland Hills Farm School existed in about half of the lower section of the barn. The other half was a kitchen and a cafeteria.

“The future of our civilization and the future of the experiment called human life on earth are so intertwined with the future of children.” Phillip Moore, director of the independent Upland Hills School for over forty years, has much to offer educators, parents, indeed anyone who cares about how we are raising the next generation that will care for our world. His wisdom grew out of over four decades of direct experience with children who have been educated in a school based on love.

A Workshop for Educators and Parents


Saturday, November 17, 2018

1:00pm – 6:00pm

with Master Educator and Education Pioneer,
Phillip Moore

South Austin (Address given upon registration)

Experience the new educational paradigm in ways that forge authentic inter-personal bonds, deepen intra-personal awareness, and connect with the outdoors. Join the masterful educator and riveting storyteller Philip Moore for a day of learning, laughter, and deep inspiration. This work/playshop is designed to provide experiences to awaken new ways of teaching and learning.

We’ll explore how to create an invisible field of trust and authenticity. Instead of an agenda of bullet points, we’ll begin by discovering the largest context we can create together, specifically designed for this moment. It’s a creative process guided by the synergy of the participants and by a field of consciousness that resides beyond our individual identities. Together, we’ll create a group intention, dedicated to all children on this planet, the ones that will follow and the children inside ourselves. This program is for anyone who cares about how we are raising and educating the next generation.

“I take great joy in commending Phillip Moore and his Upland Hills Ecological Awareness Center to you. I’m personally convinced of the competence of Moore and his associates, of their integrity and of their realistic commitment to society. Warmly, faithfully,Buckminster Fuller, April 20, 1979

Our Philosophy


A Trim Tab is a conceptual tool taken from engineering. It is a miniature rudder, on the edge of a larger rudder, which if moved, builds a low pressure that pulls the rudder around taking almost no effort at all.

Buckminster Fuller, American architect, systems theorist, author, designer and inventor, and Philip Moore’s mentor, teacher and adopted grandfather, lived his life as if he were a trim tab. Bucky’s World Game was the ultimate expression of his life’s work. The intention of World Game was to make the world work for 100% of humanity without endangering the natural world.

Trimtab.in under the guidance of Phil Moore is acting on behalf of all children to change the course of education, so that every child will be treated as a genius and will be nourished as a sacred being.

“What can happen if an entire community makes a commitment to become the Trim Tab for a paradigm shift in the field of education?

What We Do and Why


Trimtab.in specializes in creating and offering coherent palpable experiences for teachers, parents, grand parents, administrators, students and seekers who are ready to devote their consciousness to something much bigger than themselves – in service of shifting the paradigm of education for the future of children.

By working in small groups, using the tools of meditation, self reflection, introspection, and intuition to bond – initiatives that act as Trim Tabs arise from our collective insights, which we then carry into the world together.

UPLAND HILLS SCHOOL ALUM

Michael Leone describes the profound and positive influence that his Upland Hills School experience has had on the course of his life.

Every child is born a genius. It is my conviction from having watch a great number of babies grow up that all of humanity is born a genius and becomes de-geniused very rapidly by unfavourable circumstances and by the frustration of all their inbuilt capabilities.

– Buckminster Fuller
