What does it mean to raise children in wholeness?
Wholeness is about embracing all of your uniqueness and gifts, vices, and virtues. It's about knowing yourself so well that you can uphold your boundaries, honor your needs, and feel deeply connected to your purpose and being. This is what I hope my daughter is raised with.
We are always whole, and sometimes we forget. Through cultural conditioning, trauma, or not having our needs met as children we fragment ourselves, hide parts of ourselves for safety, survival, or belonging. It's usually the parts of ourselves where our unique gifts lie.
​
As parents and caretakers, we can not give our children what we can not give for ourselves. How do we as parents who have experienced our own trauma and lifetime of fragmentation, come together and raise our children in a new way that supports wholeness from the start? It's not easy, AND it's the most important thing we can strive for our children and creating a better world. Raising children in wholeness means, remembering our own wholeness.

"Children must never work for our love, they must rest in it."

WHOLENESS WORKSHOPS
Taking time to expand your understanding of wholeness, and learning various modalities for deepening your own practice, can be the most transformative and helpful practice for raising children in wholeness. These practices help deepen their capacity and ability to show up more compassion, empathy, and authenticity.
I'm blessed to work with so many amazing practitioners and healers who are always expanding my perspective around my own wholeness. Here are a few upcoming workshops by either myself or some of these amazing teachers in my life.

What is Unconditional Love?
Being in a container of unconditional love can be the most transformational space anyone can be in. Unfortunately, many of us were brought up in households where love was conditional, and unconsciously many of us are passing this on to our children.
The subtly of language makes this a crucial step for raising children in thier wholeness. We see this today in "Good vibes only" and the subtle ways we make requests like "Make mommy happy, and clean your room," or "be a good boy and do X" - it may seem innocent comments and ways that we are looking to connect with our children and get them to listen, but at what cost?
