Camp Self-Discovery

This year, I am teaming up to help lead Camp Self Discovery with creator and founder Lucianne Hackbert, PhD and mom.

Camp Self-Discovery is committed to serving the community of parents who are courageously parenting with both head and heart fully engaged. When adults collaboratively embody authentic self-expression, children mimic these skills. With practice, children can taste for themselves the sweetness of self-soothing. Families, schools, and communities can be skillfully responsive to the inner life of a child. We believe these skills can help buffer children from the stress and challenges that are a natural aspect of the world.

At Camp Self-Discovery, we help children establish a view of themselves as creative and powerful. We help children to discover their potential as vibrant and expressive beings.
