We will learn how to call upon our own wisdom and humor and understanding of what it is we need and what our children need.

 Feedback from Participants“It was wonderful and inspiring to see you in action! You are a natural orator and had the audience enraptured. Your talk hit so many personal points for me, I can't tell you! We've already started the candle ritual last night and the kids LOVED it.” “I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the blessings you sent into our lives over the weekend. How could any of us know what kind of positive effect such a simple event could have on our lives? I have found tools for living my life with my family that I didn't know I had.” “Thank you the gift of this past weekend. You were just what my heart and soul needed.
