A Collaborative Platform of Educational Experts
Our Vision
We believe that childhood should be lived wholly and with freedom.
That is why we craft programs & workshops to facilitate the development of the emotional world of children, teenagers & young adults.
Our Mission
To support children, parents and educators through accessible emotional learning programs and resources. To help upgrade the way we think education and parenting. We are committed to integrate and foster education through social and emotional learning and contemplative education.
Our Services
We offer practices that help young people to develop self-awareness, to recognize their mental and behavioral habits, and learn ways to transcend their habitual patterns in favor of more conscious and voluntary ways of living, learning, and relating.
We create fun learning environments in which children are nourished and guided to develop emotional intelligence, social skills and creativity.
We shift the focus from fixing the kid into looking inwards in order to equip parents with tools to transform themselves, develop greater awareness and be a model for their children.
We regularly share recent findings and science in the field of emotional learning education practices and class dynamics.
We offer children centered learning dynamics that are not based on passive assimilation of knowledge but on active participation based on discernment and interpretation.
Why Does Our Youth Need This
The cultivation of attention is the basis of all human learning and socialization processes, yet, in recent times mobile usage, social media & constant screen exposure have been identified as the main cause for an alarming decrease of emotional and mental health levels in children and young adults, along with the highest diagnosis of ADHD and child depression & anxiety in history.
