Our practice is a game-changer for educators, parents, and all others who have a deep interest in improving their own lives and the education of young people.

You will be challenged to gain a deeper understanding of best practices for your own self-regulation and for engaging youth to build a better and more successful future. Whether you already implement Conscious Discipline or are a beginner, the rewards will be immediate and tangible.
Come join our expert instructors Angela Fraley and Anne Hoff in Costa Mesa, California, for a journey of discovery. Both will enthusiastically present the practice that will forever change your perspective and how you empower young people to reach their full potential.
