The Lion Heart Experience

$869 Million

That’s what hospitals around the US spend on costs incurred from self-harm. Staggering. We are still waiting to get sponsored by a Health Care System. Hit us up.

We sweep through districts k-12 with what mental-health professionals are calling a “must see event.”

We fit your MTSS model and your school likely already has funding to bring us in.

We write the songs your child is meant to remember well into adulthood.

We carry the melodies they will hum to their own kids someday.

Through story, music and visual-art, every audience is left with a tangible and powerful brush with curiosity around what their life can become and a glimpse into their inherent value and worth.

Don't miss it and stop bringing lame assemblies to your school just because they are cheap.

Belonging is the first thing we learn to give and rip away from others in life. It's not a coincidence that kids as young as pre-school pivot to "you're not my friend anymore" as soon as they feel mistreated.

It's also our super-power and it's not a secret. Belonging is the magic of schools, sports teams, and incredible organizations. Too often we settle for its look-alikes, the off-brand or shallow versions of it, but real belonging, you know when you experience it.

Try "A Sense of Belonging" from The Lion Heart Experience for your students, paired perfectly with a 2-hour mini-session for your staff on evidence-based practices for building the original magic.

A thoughtful approach to your teens in your classroom or home around passion and social issues.

The fiery passion felt around social-issues, the waves of emotion and gut wrenching pain internalized for others – these times offer young people (and most of us) an incredible opportunity to fine-tune or passion. I know right, weird wording? We don’t consider that their may be an elementary, middle or mature version of passion but there is and it comes back to (not your relationship to others) but your relationship with yourself.

1. Can you articulate what you FOR as well as what (or who) you are against and why?

2. Can you identify the primary influences of your position and passion? A video, a post, a news outlet, a personal experience. A mature version of passion understands how they are influenced.

3. Can you seek out a direct voice (not a post or video) of someone involved in the issue you feel passionate about so you can ask questions, address curiosities, and give them a chance to illuminate or explain layers you might not know about?

4. Remember belief, the foundation of your passion is expressed in the utilization of your best. The best of your time, the best of your talents, the best of your resources. What you direct those things towards, that’s what you believe in.

Cheering you on. Joe.

There is science behind belonging – We teach it to teachers and coaches all around the country. Building it correctly and having the language to express what feels out of balance as you pursue it. Belonging doesn’t have to be something that just happens – you can build it piece by piece. Book a session for your educators or coaches at thelionheartexperiene.com
