About the Program
Parenting is a profound journey that calls for deep compassion, resilience, and spiritual awareness. Much like the lion, who symbolizes courage and leadership, parents are responsible for guiding, protecting, and nurturing their children through life's many stages. This challenging and rewarding journey offers growth, connection, and transformation opportunities.
We see a child as a growing soul and spirit, and as parents try to help bring out all the best in his or her innate personality and living nature.
~ Carlos de Leon
A Journey of Growth and Discovery
From the moment we consider bringing a child into the world, the path of parenting begins. It is often said that no one is truly prepared for the experience, and many parents find themselves thinking, "I had no idea what I was getting into." This series was created in response to the countless questions that arise during the parenting journey, from preparing for parenthood to navigating the complexities of raising a child.
Whether you are planning for a child, already a parent, or offering guidance to parents as a professional, this series will equip you with practical tools and spiritual practices for each stage of parenting. By integrating psychological perspectives with spiritual teachings, you'll find new ways to foster a harmonious, loving environment for your child and yourself.

Program Content Overview
This course begins by exploring the foundations of parenting—planning, preparation, and managing family life. By understanding how parenthood fosters our spiritual growth, we recognize that this journey is an opportunity for transformation for both the child and the parents.
- Planning Pregnancy
Intentionality of Conception: Conception is viewed as a sacred moment where body, mind, and spirit align intentionally. Parents learn to create a loving, secure, and spiritually connected environment to welcome new life.
Parenthood and Self-Transformation: This journey is self-transformation, encouraging parents to reflect on their motivations, assess readiness, and build a nurturing space for a child to flourish.
Holistic Realities for the Family: Parenting affects all aspects of family life. This course explores the physical demands, psychological shifts, and spiritual growth opportunities during pregnancy and beyond, helping parents grow alongside their children.
Spiritual Practices for Conception and Pregnancy: Through meditation and mantra recitation, parents clear karmic obstacles, bless conception, and invite divine support. These practices foster a peaceful pregnancy and support the entire family on every level.
- Pregnancy and the Journey to Birth
Transformative Experience of Pregnancy: Pregnancy brings a profound physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation. Expectant parents learn to connect deeply with their developing child and navigate the challenges and joys that arise.
Physical and Psychological Changes: Mothers undergo significant physical changes, supported by partners, while both parents often experience an identity shift. Spiritually, pregnancy fosters selfless love and a deeper connection to the divine, offering renewal and honouring the sacredness of life.
Spiritual Practices for Expecting Parents: Meditation and spiritual practices cultivate harmony, peace, and compassion, supporting parents and babies. These practices strengthen the family bond and invite a divine presence into everyday life.
- The Miracle of Birth
Sacred Initiation into Parenthood: Birthmarks both the culmination of preparation and the start of a new journey. Parents adapt to the demands of caring for a newborn while nurturing their own healing and spiritual growth, developing patience and compassion as they establish a new family rhythm.
Preparation for Conscious Birth: Prenatal yoga, childbirth education, and mindfulness promote physical health, emotional readiness, and spiritual centeredness, making birth a transformative experience for mother and child.
Physical, Psychological, and Spiritual Impact: The birth process is physically intense, emotionally profound, and spiritually meaningful, welcoming a new soul into the world. This powerful initiation serves as a rite of passage, where parents witness the unfolding of divine creation.
- The First Year of Parenting
The First Year of Parenting: This first year brings rapid change, with parents balancing baby care and self-care. Understanding the child's physical, emotional, and spiritual growth fosters a loving, grounded family presence.
Recognizing the Development Stages of Your Child: Parents are guided in recognizing milestones in cognitive, emotional, and motor skills, nurturing curiosity and connection in a supportive, loving environment.
Understanding the Psychomotor Domain and Different Intelligences: Children develop uniquely, excelling in physical coordination or emotional intelligence. Parents support this growth through sensory play, exploration, and compassionate interaction.
- Positive Education and Spirituality
Positive Education and Spirituality: Parents transition into teaching roles as children grow. This program guides parents in instilling compassion, setting boundaries, and nurturing empathy, respect, and mindfulness through spiritual values.
Positive Education: Limits, Misbehaviour & Teaching Spirituality: When approached with compassion, setting limits and addressing misbehaviour can serve as spiritual lessons. Teaching empathy, respect, and responsibility helps children become conscientious, balanced individuals.
Integrating Spirituality in Education: Parents weave spirituality into learning through stories and activities, nurturing values of kindness, interconnectedness, and mindfulness that support a child's holistic growth.

- Ganesh: The remover of obstacles invoked to bless the parenting journey with wisdom and protection.
- Vajrasattva: A practice of purification and healing, offering clarity and peace for parents.
- Green Tara: The swift liberator whose compassion and protection are beneficial for navigating the challenges of parenthood.
- Shiva: The lord of transformation, who empowers parents to embrace change with grace and wisdom.
- Manjushri: The bodhisattva of wisdom, aiding parents in guiding their children with insight and compassion.
