Who we are
In 1995, Ann visited Eugenio Echeverría, the founder of CELAFIN, and instantly fell in love with the enchanting spirit of San Cristóbal, which is the cultural capital of the Chiapas state in Southern Mexico.
Recognizing its potential as a vibrant space for transformative gatherings, Eugenio suggested that the town would be the ideal setting for hosting international conferences dedicated to Philosophy for Children.
Inspired by this vision, Ann and Eugenio joined forces to relocate the January International Conference of Mendam, NJ, to San Cristóbal. For over 30 years, from 1995 to 2025, these inspiring conferences have brought together educators, thinkers, and travelers from around the globe, creating a community where ideas flourish and every conversation ignites new possibilities.
Join us at the Ann Sharp Philosphy Retreat, where the legacy of education and the development of critical, creative & caring thinking comes together.
