I have created the Essential Parenting classes to be dynamic, experiential, and interactive, and suitable for parents and educators alike. The classes are designed to explore answers to three fundamental questions:
- What is a human being?
- How does one develop, grow, and mature?
- How can we best support this process of maturation?
In this parenting class, you will gain new insights into why children behave the way they do. Changes in perspective leads to more attuned and appropriate responses that benefit the whole family. And through the foundational practices of mindfulness, somatics, and inquiry, you will appreciate first hand what self-regulation and maturation feels like.
The ultimate aims of our parenting classes are to help you support your children to:
- Live a happy and fulfilling life.
- Contribute to a restful, harmonious home by becoming respectful and responsible.
- Grow into their fullest potential and share their gifts with the world.
The result is a nourishing household where all members of the family are encouraged to live authentic and fulfilling lives, and where intimacy, mutual respect, and appreciation are abundant.
