What if education is not about filling the mind... but awakening the whole human being?
In A Journey on Our Star, Enrica Piccapietra invites readers into a profound and transformative vision of education-one that goes beyond information and performance, and speaks to the deepest dimensions of who we are.
Drawing from her personal experience as a teacher working with children from complex and often painful backgrounds, the author reveals an approach rooted in empathy, presence, and authentic human connection. Her work shows that education is not simply a transfer of knowledge, but a relational and inner process capable of shaping the entire human being.
At the heart of this journey lies a powerful symbolic model inspired by the work of Roberto Assagioli, founder of psychosynthesis. Through the image of the star, the human psyche is described as a dynamic system of interconnected functions. Building on insights shared with Carl Jung, this model includes sensation, emotion, thought, and intuition-expanded by Assagioli to also embrace imagination and desire.
At the center of the star resides the will: the guiding force that can harmonize all these functions and express the deeper Self.
Through this symbolic framework, the book explores how every dimension of our inner life can be:
recognized, developed, and consciously directed.
But this is not just theory.
In a world where symbols are constantly used to influence behavior-through advertising, branding, and digital culture-this book offers a different path. It reclaims the power of symbols as tools for awareness, education, and human growth.
Symbols, as the language of the unconscious, have the ability to communicate what words cannot fully express. They evoke intuition, guide inner energies, and open new possibilities for understanding ourselves and others.
This book shows how they can be used not to manipulate, but to educate, inspire, and awaken.
What you will discover:
- A new vision of education as a lifelong, holistic process
- The meaning and power of symbols in human development
- A practical understanding of the star diagram and the psyche
- How to develop emotional, intuitive, and imaginative intelligence
- The central role of will, awareness, and inner direction
- A deeper way to connect with children, students, and oneself
Educators, parents, psychologists, and coaches-
but also anyone seeking a more conscious, integrated, and meaningful way of learning and living.
A Journey on Our Star is not just a book about education.
It is an invitation to rediscover the full potential of the human being-
and to build bridges toward a new way of learning, growing, and being.
