Connect + Reflect – life navigation for kids ages 10-14
- Do you know or have a child who is ready or wanting to begin navigating this world of ours?

- Do you want your child to feel a greater connection to the people and places she encounters on her way so that she can feel safer and more empowered?
- Do you want him to develop his intuition and learn to tune in to his gut?
In this 3 1/2 -hour workshop, developed by Bernadette, we’ll cover all this and then some – through experience, exploration and discussion, offering our kids a greater sense of self, a deeper connection to the people and places they encounter and the ability to reflect and tune into their own intuition.

Tuesday Night Teleclasses!
Teleclasses work like a conference call. Using Talkshoe, you can call in from wherever you are by simply dialing the number and entering the access code to the call. No special phone is needed and no special location either! You can take this call while you sit at home, sit in your yard, or sit in your driveway in your car. It’s easy and it’s a great way to take a class.
