New this year: You can spend Friday afternoon with Penni Sparks at a Pre-conference Workshop from 1-5 pm. In California she will be sharing her insights and humor on “Surviving and Thriving with your Adolescent and Preteen” (Grades 5-12). In Boulder, the topic will be “Growing and Guiding Your Young Child” (Ages 4-11). Don’t miss this opportunity to spend four hours with Penni to reconnect with your own inner “compass” of wisdom and clarity.

We hope you’ll join us either weekend for a large dose of inspiration and renewal for your parenting. From the dozens of workshops, there will be tracks for parents of young children, parents of adolescents, and everyone in between. There will also be special workshops on home schooling, enriching family life, and activities to do with your children.
