ANTILLIA is the name I gave to a project I cherish since my youth: my own school. Becoming a secondary school teacher later, I noticed how many young people didn't have a clue as what path for them to follow after they graduated. As a graduate myself long ago, I dreamed of a lot of things, but certainly not of what would become my path: a university career in language that led to 30+ years of teaching in a secondary school... I want to offer those who struggle with those questions after graduation a "safe heaven", a "freeport" where they can take whatever time necessary to find out what their appropriate path is, what path suits their talent, what path eventually leads to fulfillment of what is imprinted in their souls (consider "graduates" as people of all ages...). Therefore I need equally inspired "teachers" to reach out a helping hand, guides to inspire them, pilots to lead their ship out of port into open sea where they can become pilots & captains themselves, because now they will know how to use their Soul's compass.

I first heard of this name by my father, painter & poet (see middle section).
