“ When we were in desperate need, Awakening Wisdom saved our family of eight. It is truly a way of life that allowed our family the freedom to constantly grow and improve. We truly believe that Awakening Wisdom is changing the world at a time when the world is desperately in need.”

“Awakening Wisdom is not a page-by-page program, but a focus on culture and its “hidden curriculum.” Thus, it addresses the source for transformation. The transformation occurs within the self and a culture as a whole.”

“The things I learned are now part of my “beingness” in the work I do for Paypal. Empathy and trust help me design user interfaces that support the customer to make their lives better.”

“I see many of my colleagues struggling with the uncertainty from the pandemic I know without a doubt that what I learned from Awakening Wisdom through my school years has helped me weather the challenges of these trying times.”

“The Awakening Wisdom principles have helped me as a teacher and a parent. I learned how to listen deeply, how to take responsibility for my attitudes and actions, how to not be afraid of making mistakes. I am able to help my high school students acquire these same life mastery habits so that they can flourish, too.”

“When we incorporated Awakening Wisdom principles into our K-8, Charter School, we experienced school wide transformation and a culture where there was a sense of belonging and trust for all the stakeholders.”
