Virtues experiences in action across the world!

Virtues for Everyone

Speak the Language of Virtues

 

Language shapes character.  The way we speak and the words we use have great power to inspire or discourage.  The Language of Virtues empowers us to act on the best within us, and bring out the best in others. 

In this workshop, you will learn how to use language to build trust and increase hope, engagement, and wellbeing in your family, school, workplace, and life beyond.

A Pace of Grace

Virtues for a Sustainable Life

How are you, really? Have the demands of life exceeded your energy? Are you needing some time and tools to reconnect with yourself and rejuvenate your spirit?

We will provide strategies to help you get a sense of peace and serenity to let go of the “FOG” of fatigue, overwhelm and guilt to reclaim your power to thrive.

Education

The Heart of Education

Bringing Joy, Meaning & Purpose to Teaching & Learning

Are you an educator  looking for ways to create more peace, belonging and
wellbeing for you and your students? Do you want tools and strategies that you can use immediately and feel the positive impact?

Wow. Just wow! That was so well done! Rich content, engaging activities... and safe and well-handled. And the energizers... comics, music, and dance that was done with such excellence! I aspire to do such a job! Thank you!

I've always left a Virtues workshop feeling more hopeful about the world and enlightened about my part in making it better-one heart at a time. Dara and Dave are shining examples of purposeful, encouraging communicators.

"Virtues Circles have become a frame to hold me and my life."

It is through the virtual Virtues Sharing Circles that I have felt more seen, heard, understood and respected. The practice of using the Language of the Virtues in this intentional way changes everything
