We are so excited to be accepting a new class of Peaceful Warriors this Spring, and hope you will join us for this amazing journey of learning and growth. Through creative exercises, role plays, discussion, music, art, and writing, students will learn to explore and express their emotions in positive, productive ways, as well as how to handle difficult situations in life with courage and healthy perspective. They will develop a strong inner core that will aid them in decision-making and effective communication. The program also strongly encourages a sense of comraderie among students, and shows them what it means to support, and be supported by, their peers and all others.
