Testimonials
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this course! I learned more about myself than I thought would be possible. This course has changed my daily routine, enhanced my problem-solving capabilities, and has left me feeling like a more complete person. Most importantly, it is changing the way that I listen to and work with students of all ages. We really need more people using this framework.”

“If we can help children know who they deeply are, understand their interconnectedness with others and the natural world, and with that knowledge, build a creative, fulfilling life — well, that would be gob-smacking wonderful. In my mind, there is nothing more important than this.”
—Richmond Mayo-Smith, Former head of Roxbury Latin School
