More about these services

Why should a company invest in Personal Growth?

The School of Personal Growth was an offering by Google to help its employees “grow as people," offering courses such as "The Neuroscience of Empathy" and "Search Inside Yourself." The main goal of this school was to promote happiness among the employees and allow them to understand themselves in a deeper way in order to foster creativity and cooperation.

Big Think had the opportunity to speak with Monika Broecker, who co-founded the school and who has gone on to found her own Personal Growth Program.

Upcoming Workshops in April and May

Pure Presence: Sensory Communication, Healing and Embodiment With Horses - with Kerri Lake

Clarity, Communication, Leadership, Presence - May 4th and 5th

Come and play for one day, or come for both days! 

All communication is vibration. Healing is vibration! The truth is a vibration our body can sense. This event in the presence of the horses will invoke your awareness of your unique vibration and leadership Presence. The animals help us explore how vibrational and sensory communication functions, and you will feel it happening in your own body.

The horses are always in this place of presence, and they facilitate our integration as we expand in consciousness and embody our unique expression of confidence, leadership and wellness.

To attend for 1 day, Saturday, May 4 OR Sunday, May 5: $175 per person.

To attend BOTH days: $325 per person.
