🌿✨ Need Cultural Competency CEs or NASW-Approved CEUs? Interested in learning more about neurodivergence?

We’ve got you! Our next training starts NEXT WEEK! 🔔

ALICE WROTE A WORKBOOK! AVAILABLE NOW! 🌿🌿🌿

Explore this and many other thought-provoking questions, complemented with a fresh take on social-emotional learning, to help you navigate group dynamics with children and teens that promote the opportunity for everyone to thrive.

Whether you’re new to navigating group dynamics or well experienced, this workbook will offer a creative perspective to hone your authentic group leader style. Nature will be your primary teacher by amplifying the everyday wisdom you have already encountered within your lived ecosystems. After all, humans are mammals and exist within a greater ecosystem."
