A Letter from our Founder…
As the creator of Conscious Classroom, I aim to foster a culture of self-awareness that aids in understanding our life’s journey. Self-awareness teaches us to distinguish our patterns, behaviors, personality, and reality. By understanding how we use breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and our senses, we learn to shape our experiences. This process leads us to heightened consciousness, making us more present and aware.
When we start noticing our thoughts and how we show up in the world, we can design a life that genuinely reflects who we are. We begin to live our dreams in the present rather than seeing them as distant aspirations. Our lives align with our truest selves—a life we imagine and manifest rather than one shaped by external expectations. This journey of self-discovery is a source of constant inspiration and motivation.
This authenticity allows us to feel a deep sense of belonging within ourselves. As lifelong learners, we continuously build a toolbox of breathing and mindfulness techniques that help us self-regulate, recalibrate, and thrive through life’s inevitable ups and downs. Lifelong learning, in this context, refers to the ongoing process of self-discovery and personal growth. Developing a trusting relationship with ourselves reveals that we are the source—that the true teacher resides within us.
I established Conscious Classroom to provide a platform for students, educators, administrators, families, and communities to tap into their inner wisdom, create a life aligned with their unique vision, and trust the intuition that guides us all. It’s a space for nurturing self-awareness and mindfulness, and understanding our brain and body systems and how they interact and influence our behaviors. Conscious Classroom offers a container to learn the art and science of self-awareness, self-management, and conscious choice. Our unique approach engages experiential learning, enabling mastery experience and lifelong learning.
