Are You Ready to Evolve?

Posted on October 18, 2016

There is a very special Parenting Conference coming up this weekend: Evolve: The Conscious Way.  This second annual event will be led by Dr. Shefali Tsabary and takes place October 21–23 in New York City.

Posted on November 9, 2016

Last week I talked about what went on at Evolve 2016, Dr. Shefali’s three-day conference in New York.
