​
Our program consists of five classes that together provide the basics of human development and how our development impacts our relationships to ourselves, others and the world. This provides us with the blueprint for successfully navigating the emotional world. Each class teaches one of these and demonstrates how to easily integrate concepts into daily life.

Taught by founder, Lauren Gargano, LCSW, all classes include instruction and group discussion. Lauren creates a lively, communal environment that allows for material to come alive and for attendees to internalize information for real world application.

​"I have found the classes very eye opening, compassionate and inspirational. They provide a point of reference that puts in a positive context many questions that we often don't have an answer to or are ashamed of asking." -Audrey
"It was enlightening and was a reminder that I am not alone with the way I think. It's been a while since I was in a group discussion and it was great to be a part of it. I came away with new insights for myself and for my family." -Kyle
