The Gift of a Question

Advice and fresh ideas can be so useful in expanding our perspective and arriving at creative solutions.

At the same time, we place a lot of value on open questions. We realize that everyone's experience of life is different. Our kids are more different from one another than they are similar. And so, what may seem really useful to us, may not be useful to someone else.

This is why we appreciate and do our best to ask loving check-in questions in our interactions with our students. The intention is to help you gain clarity, explore your inner wisdom, and arrive at your own answers, which oftentimes proves most beneficial.

As we go through this course together, we invite you to freely share your thoughts and ideas with your group members. At the same time, we encourage you to remember the value of a question, and practice asking your group members check-in questions when it feels good!

A true friend is one who supports you in tapping into your inner wisdom and inspires you to be fully who you are.
