Positive Neuroplasticity Training is about:

• Learning "how to" grow lasting inner resources such as confidence, happiness, grit, feeling content, safe and connected.

• Understanding "how to" improve your mental health by learning how to take in the good and install it as an inner strength.

• Identifying and applying these strategies to key areas of your life you want to develop.

• Moving forward, growing resilience and healing past hurts.

The 18 hour PNT course is a combination of presentation, paired exercise and inner practices.
