What Attendees of Conscious Discipline Events Are Saying:
“I have attended many Conscious Discipline events over the years. I love how each event is such a unique experience depending on where I am in my personal growth journey as well as the sharing from each gifted presenter. One of the most helpful aspects of CD events is all of the practice and real-life examples that are shared. As I have begun to learn the “new language” of CD not only has it been a verbal distinction, but a heart shift; one that demonstrates the interconnectedness of this practice. Each presenter helped me connect within myself in a new way that helped me step forward into new pathways of life. Truly transformational!”
— Jenny Spencer, Teacher and CD Certified Instructor
