The Secret Layer
Transformative Presence
A School-Year Journey in Meditation, Breath, Movement & Awareness
Wednesdays, 8:30–10:00 a.m.
Late September 2026 – May 2027
The outer journey of parenting asks us to understand the child.
The inner journey asks us to understand feelings, relationships, and the emotional life of the family.
The secret journey asks us to understand the awareness that can hold both.
.
Unlike a workshop or short course, this is a gradual path of steady transformation. Through consistent weekly practice, participants learn how to use the body and mind to facilitate calm, strengthen attention, regulate emotions, deepen self-awareness, and awaken the inner capacities that support meaningful change. Each week will include, movement, a topic of inspiration and meditation, training all three, body, speech and mind to live a more balanced and inspiring life.
