Acting Coordinator Valina Peters After graduating with a BA Hons in Hispanic Studies and French, I moved to Germany, where I taught English for 6 years, specializing in English for Commerce and Industry, before moving to Frankfurt Airport in 1990. My active work on my inner growth intensified after the birth of my son and continues today.

Every person is born with a specific structure of being that forms the basis for his or her personal development. But HOW it develops is predominantly influenced by the child’s interactions with parents and other people with whom they relate most closely. The majority of emotional problems that most people suffer with have their origins in the parent/child relationship from childhood.

The programs in the Faculty for the Family offer parents and children a chance to discover their unique structure of being and the gifts it contains. Through this understanding you learn how you can support the positive development of your child in a conscious and gentle way. As parents we are in a position to create an environment of love, understanding and protection so that the natural qualities of the soul can take root and are then able to lead the personality. In these programs we support you as parents on how to become more aware of your role and capacity to encourage individuality, independence and freedom of being.

Conscious Parenting
A new way to be with my child

Credits:        2
For:             Parents or soon to be parents, teachers or anyone involved with children
Length:        Saturday evening to Sunday evening, non-residential

This workshop is aimed at all parents with children of any age and parents-to-be. It offers you the chance to see your child in a different light (to rediscover your child). As parents we want the best for our children, but how do we know what is really best for them? Is our idea of the best not colored by our own unfulfilled wishes and missed chances, by the spirit of the times and social norms? Our children are wonderful beings with their own unique nature and individuality. They are sensitive beings who are affected by things in the energetic environment. Because of their reactions we often label them "problematic". Problems at school or home, hyperactivity, and lack of concentration can be signs that they are having difficulty in coping with this energetic stimulation. In this workshop we will learn about the energetic nature of our actions and communications and the results this has on our children. Your new experiences and insights during this weekend will enrich your relationship with your child and encourage you to be a new way with him or her. Our work is based on the latest scientific research into consciousness and the human energy system.
