Choosing to Matter: Connecting to Your Higher Self

INTERACTIVE WRITING WORKSHOP

---

I also visit classes to facilitate an interactive writing workshop that helps students connect with their higher selves.

In this workshop, students learn to view their values as a practical source of power rather than seeking external validation.

​This enables them to make more authentic decisions, thus leading to long-term fulfillment, or making mischief a way of life!
