Join the Circle of Parenting and Get REAL!
FROM LIVING DURING STRESSFUL TIMES
- We are living in the most stressful times of the modern age, with the repression of the pandemic over the the past few years and the residue effects on our own and our children’s emotional and mental health, the gaps in schooling, financial concerns and the endless world conflicts, the climate of the world as we know it unpredictable and turbulent.
- We are bombarded with images and news of suffering around the globe. This all has a collective impact on our personal well-being and on our ability to cope with what has transpired as well as to process what could be. These collective impacts trickle down into our beings and we unconsciously carry them in our memory cells and nervous system unaware of how they are affecting us.
- This is just another layer that adds to our already full invisible backpacks…the stress levels can be almost off the charts when we add this to the ‘normal’ stresses of life, financial concerns, health challenges, your children’s academic, social, emotional concerns, work issues, relationship challenges, grief – losing loved ones, not having enough time for yourself or your partner, work /family life imbalance.
- How does this impact the relationships in our families and our parenting abilities? We know the statistics are alarming for mental illness and suicide rates for the youth of this world, and they continue to climb.
- The only certainty through these uncertain times is that “peace begins with me.” Research shows that by rewiring our brains and aligning our minds with our hearts, we can have control over our thoughts, words, beliefs, and actions, and improve our current reality. There is hope!
TO CREATING THE CHANGE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
- Our collective work based on neuroscience, positive psychology, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral change practices, child psycho-social development, fine arts learning processes, nonviolent communication practices and the empowered humanity theory, provide the foundations to improve our reality and make it sustainable.
- The circle of parenting uses a balanced mix of conceptual learning, hands-on application, emotional memories for deeper transformation, and understanding, team collaboration, feedback, and relationship coaching.
- The Circle is created using the cycle of the four elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air) and takes into account the ecosystem theory. This systemic approach addresses cycles of transformation and creation, phases of growth in life as well as the many environments and social interactions impacting the individual and collective development of the family unit.
Through the four elements, the Circle of Parenting invites parents and children on a journey that will help them to:
- Identify the dream for their family and create the foundational circle where they can encourage, support, and lift each other - The Fire Element, the Spark
- Create awareness and learn the foundational skills to be grounded in understanding one's and others' needs, identity work, emotion control, and self-management using the power of the brain and a positive mindset, etc. - The Earth Element, Awareness & Planting
- Invest in sustainable growth by nurturing interpersonal skills and relationships, building a more robust support system, developing nonviolent communication, and anchoring habits - The Water Element, Nurture, Grow, and Flow
- .Integrate and foster change for life by putting empathy and compassion into action during a family project - The Air Element
