Virtues are the building blocks of social responsibility and qualities of the human spirit honored by all cultures. They include kindness, courage, honesty, respect and love. In this non-sectarian workshop you will learn powerful techniques that can be used immediately, at all grade levels, to bring out everyone's best. Students blossom when taught to activate universal virtues within them. Research has shown that this type of education increases academic achievement, counteracts bullying behavior, and creates a climate of respect, caring and joy. You'll hear success stories, get hands-on training and take home a wealth of activities that can be woven throughout your curriculum. You'll also come away rejuvenated by this serene setting. Optional activities at no additional cost: yoga, singing, therapeutic pool, library and art studio.
Nancy Watters, MA, CCC, RP-CRA (Certified Canadian and Adlerian Counselor; Workforce Literacy Coordinator; Registered Reiki Master; singer) says,
"We all have the seeds of goodness within us, but we must choose to activate them. This workshop delivers potent tools that help students choose well-- tools that are substantiated by current educational psychology, as well as worldwide spiritual traditions. More than 4,000 educators have taken this training. They, in turn, have helped thousands of students become socially responsible and contribute to the betterment of the world. I've been teaching this for over ten years and it still inspires me every time. "
