Hey parents/teachers/caregivers/anyone who wants to up-level their relationships!

Something exciting is happening this week!

TWO DAYS TO GO until Evolve!!! (Tickets: www.eventbrite.co.nz...)

These are the faces of the parents who joined us last year! So much JOY, EXCITEMENT and LOVE in the room.

Here is what one beautiful parent told us afterwards:
"Wow... just wow! As tired as I was, the speakers were mesmerising and I was taken to a place magical and far away, but at the same token, as if I was directly spoken to. You have all done a sterling job, and while I yet have a way to go with transitioning, I have a renewed vision and drive to get there ... but not tomorrow or next week, the change needs to be now!"

Do you wanna get to a place where you feel this yumminess in your parenting journey every day?!!!

If you're keen to join us and haven't got your ticket yet, make sure you get it soon!

Inna Neal Neal, Amy McAuley, Ross McCook and I are SO excited to be with you this Wednesday, 22nd Feb.

We are also doing a raffle with prizes including two free nights' accommodation in Whitianga!
