Eight Instructional Modules, based on 25 years of teaching, and proven results in our students and communities, delivered in an online/in person experience. Workshops and Stacking Certifications make up our foundation with group cohorts, privates/self paced: workshops, classes and events throughout the year.

For the educator whether private/public/homeschool/freeschool or no school: our body, mind and spirit curriculum is based in Embodiment Practices, Tools and Techniques. Explore personal/professional development, and gain the ability to share/teach, embodiment practices, tools and techniques, and instruct SEL to a single person or group/class. While having everything you need to feel confident in true Social Emotional Learning. Students will become equipped with the tools to deeply connect with self, anchoring in the heart, and developing a strong, lasting connection to their inner guidance system. As we progress through the modules you will learn techniques for yourself personally and to teach to others. How do we show up and overcome the day to day challenges of life with love, grace, ease, resilience, belief in self and our abilities, and gifts? We inspire students to explore self, and self in relation to family, community and the world. Be the balanced, best, whole you, with the ability to share tools and techniques to: love self, establish the connection to inner guidance systems, imagination, balanced body, mind and spirit connection, support optimum health, inspiration, hope and peace that understanding self brings.
