Method of Learning (curriculum)

Jared Ezzard and Patrick Diggs created and developed a unique parenting curriculum informed by many years of educating and engaging families and individuals in both psychotherapeutic and recreational activities.   The retreat is designed as an immersive  2 ½ day (weekend) retreat.  The typical retreat size is 15 parents. We start the retreat weekend  with dinner, meet and greet, and  icebreakers.  We start the following day early with mindful and yoga activities.  We quickly move into early childhood development and begin to explore values for responsible fatherhood and parenting.  Some activities can be emotionally intense, but participants will have continuous access to trained facilitators to process thoughts and feelings. Retreat participants will be asked to actively participate to maximize their retreat experience.  Each participant will leave the retreat with a workbook that documents their new learning and points the way for the rest of their journey.
