I took a 10-week Conscious Parenting class with Dr. Arayeh. She created a space where we felt comfortable sharing so we were able to learn from each other and create a sense of community.  Two hours a week for 10 weeks was an excellent timeframe to learn some concepts that are ancient wisdom but then to reflect and see how it impacts my life during the week.  I could return each week with my findings and review and practice these skills so that they became natural.  It was refreshing to PAUSE and see parenting from different perspectives.  I was able to see just how much healing is needed for myself before I am able to change how I interact with my daughter.  Reparenting myself is necessary before I can change how I parent my daughter instead of just repeating old patterns learned in childhood.  Dr. Arayeh truly cares for her students and she was welcoming and affirming.  She is also vulnerable and radically honest and this is rare to find.
