Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Creative lives affirms that each child is innately good, with a unique potential for learning, contribution and fulfillment. It is our mission and vision to help young people thrive -- by advancing a holistic approach to education based on ellen tadd's pioneering understanding of the chakra system and its role in human development.

Mission statement: creative lives helps children prepare for their future and thrive in body, mind, and spirit through a holistic approach to teaching and parenting. We offer training programs for adults nationally. A unique approach: even the most expert of educators share concern about how to meet the needs of students today. Our children live in challenging times and must learn to navigate a fast-changing world as they move into adulthood. We want to help our youth tap their full potential to learn, develop their gifts - and lead contributive lives. The question is how. Our approach - author ellen tadd's framework for wise education -- provides a unique solution. The framework is based on tadd's observations of the human energy system, or chakra system, and its role in healthy human development. The premise of tadd's approach is simple but profound: well- function across the chakra system equates to optimal growth and fulfillment - for individuals and groups. "through my own examina
