FREE CLASS – How Neuroscience is Catching Up to Indigenous Parenting Wisdom
September 27 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Do you feel like a drag as a parent? Do you ever wonder why parenting is so stressful?
We’re stressed because we’re WIERD: Western, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic*
Learn how to bring both levity and efficacy into your parenting by incorporating the NeuroRelational Framework, an approach that intersects neuroscience with indigenous wisdom and resonates with everyone’s nervous systems.
Welcome to a new joy in parenting babies, children, and teens!
*á la Joseph Henrich’s book, The Weirdest People in the World
THIS INTERACTIVE PRESENTATION IS PERFECT FOR PARENTS OF TEENS, BUT IS ALSO REALLY GOOD FOR ANY PARENT!

She does this work through Alta (Alternative Learning and Therapeutic Avenues) in a domestic violence shelter, with families reuniting after foster care, and with private clients. Amelia also trains on the NeuroRelational Framework, an equitable, trauma-informed approach to treating toxic stress, which is an underlying factor in many of today’s physical and mental health challenges.
