I first met Bruce Lipton in 1990. It was a magical meeting of two minds that shared a burning desire to facilitate educational change. At the time, he was a fellow in Pathology at Stanford Medical School. He had just proved in a lab that it is our beliefs and perceptions, not our genes, which…
You may have noticed that I haven’t sent out a newsletter or done any posting on my blog for quite some time—a year to be exact! My excuse is I have been really, really busy—not in a bad way because a lot of amazing things have been happening. So what has been filling up my…
How could something as simple as drawing facilitate change? Art is more than a subject. It is a language–a nonverbal language–that can help us uncover the subtle nuances of our feelings and emotions.

After a year of teachers using the I Create What I Believe! program (ICWIB) in classroom settings, collecting data, and tracking results, the pilot study is finished!
