Words We Live By:
Where Energy Healing Meets Academic Assistance
Words We Live By is a first-of-its-kind approach to academic assistance for kids of all ages. It incorporates energy healing modalities from traditions all over the world to help students express themselves clearly and persuasively through varied forms of narrative.
Words We Live By's approach to education addresses a great need for 1) the indigenization of our educational practices and 2) an understanding of the spiritual dimension of education. By helping students (re)connect to their higher senses of Self; their present communities; their ancestors; and the beautiful earth that formed them, Words We Live By teaches students how to share their stories from a place of confidence, reverence, and joy. In doing so, Words We Live By helps students develop the compositional and rhetorical skills they will need to thrive in contemporary middle school, high school, and college environments, while also reaching for the future -- for the possibilities of what schooling could be for our next generations.
