Emotional Literacy Education for a Wholehearted Community
The ELM is an education hub, embracing a whole-body approach through integrating a variety of methods, including the creative arts, music, movement, and nature-based practices into our programming.
Our programs promote personal empowerment, foster connection, deepen ones understanding of self and others, and cultivate compassion for the human experience.
We believe all educators should have the same knowledge and access to these tools, so they too can be empowered by their own self awareness, and have the resources to assist their students.
As an emotionally literate society we can
develop skill sets that help us....
Determine our needs and communicate them authentically
Confidently engage when conflict arises and hold compassion for others with different perspectives
Thrive in our relationships and build meaningful connections
Increase productivity without compromising wellbeing
Minimize the impacts of trauma & learn to work with our triggers
By becoming more in tune with our body’s natural healing sequence, we learn to identify and manage our emotions. Through self regulation, taking strides in overcoming anxiety, depression and physical pain.
We set the stage for learning to occur by working with our biology to balance the nervous system, build student confidence, and prevent educator burnout.
