For Families

Natural Learning Relationships is the core of our ongoing consulting practice and of the hundreds of family programs we have designed. For many years we ran Family Immersion programs that included parents learning the basics of NLR, Cooperative Games and Activities, the use of a Ropes Course, the Wilderness. For 26 years these popular programs spawned many NLR oriented families. While we no longer run Family Immersion programs, they comprise a rich source of learning about the value of NLR for helping families live in optimal well-being.

As consultants steeped in awareness of how children organize their world, in family dynamics, and with 40 years of front line engagement with children and families, we have met just about every situation that families encounter. Primarily through educating clients and participating deeply in their experiences many, many families have come to greater well-being. 

However, we are not therapists. In fact, we see therapy as a problem because it often emphasises pathology. Our practice is the awakening of the well-being that resides in each of us. Pathology is the outcome of ignoring well-being. Awakening well-being has powerful and far reaching results. 

Family can be a source of meaningful communication, of mutually beneficial support, and of profound personal growth and self-knowledge. We have been graced to participate in this emergence of optimal well-being many times in many families. 

Call, write, or email and we’ll set some time to talk. Let’s find out whether our knowledge, skills, and insights are useful for you and your family. Of course, our work together is customized and completely confidential.
