The Ripple Effect
Health is a complex and important area of learning: it should be relevant, backed by quality data, and it should capture the imagination. But transformative learning is often missing when you need it the most — when you’re sick, or stressed, or navigating the healthcare system.
We want to inspire people to engage in new practices that will translate into lasting change.
Why should you trust Practice of Life? Because we’ve done the research to back the work.
What I’m seeing is a lack of encouragement in kids looking after themselves. Well-being is still a really new fresh idea. These kids — they are wanting to please their parents, fit in, figure out who they are. What is my purpose? They are only uncovering health issues as they reach boiling points.

Not much discussion about parenting goes past the obvious. What about the immense challenges of distance learning; how screens impact brain development; teen use of weed/alcohol/hallucinogens; kids dealing with friend/peer issues? These topics are generally just mentioned among adults with empathetic eye rolls.
