What you will learn

SPEAK LIFE and LOVE into your Family!

Tap into YOUR Human Genius with an

6-Week Thursday Night Workshop beginning May 28th

You CAN respond to life’s problems with authenticity, wisdom, and love!

Are you ready to discover the most EFFECTIVE and JOYFUL way to be in the world? Instead of feeling “stuck” in relationship patterns or the demands of parenting, come learn to care for yourself and your children, of any age, in a way that leads to an authentic shared life and invites cooperation and harmony!

In this 6-week Speak Life Lab, you will be introduced to the basic skills of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and be personally guided in the discovery of how to access your own inherent MAGIC. This is YOUR HUMAN GENIUS, and is the BEST GIFT for yourself, and also for your growing family!

Speak Life Lab is an 6-week online workshop which provides an interactive learning environment. It also includes weekly private and individual guidance delivered through your written homework, as you put your new skills into action in YOUR real life! This coaching process will help you to raise your proficiency and your awareness to be able to LEAD as a person, and as a parent, with purposeful actions aligned with your true values.
