Parenting Culture

Duration: 

Course Duration: 32 weeks (September 2024 – May 2025)

Culture Description:

Parenting Culture is a community of seekers striving to be better in their parenting responsibilities through the practices of Self Development. 

This community offers a safe and supportive space to:

• be inspired about how to apply Self development practices and mindset in the context of our parenting responsibilities
• opportunity to connect with other parents/care-givers to help each other in our parenting journeys
• dialogue with our teachers to seek their guidance on the most pressing parenting challenges we face

This year our focus will be on Courageous Parenting. Please join us as we find the courage to prioritize Self Care so we can be patient with ourselves and those we care for. By being courageous parents and caregivers, we are able to give our best to our family and transform in such a way that we keep striving to reach our Potential.

The ancient wisdom we will explore this year is Vibhishana Gita:

The Vibhishan Geeta is found in Lanka Kanda of Sri Ramcharit Manas by Goswami Tulasidas. Lord Rama assured Vibhishana when the latter lovingly expressed his doubt about Rama’s victory (who was bare footed and without any armor) over Ravana who was in a special war chariot well protected by sophisticated weapons.
