Come and join us as we explore how to foster “Education without Stress”, by awakening the full potential of every student and educator through Consciousness-Based Education (CBE).

CBE enriches the standard curriculum, teaching practices and learning environment. 450,000 students and staff in 800 schools in 60 countries have taken CBE education.

The goal of CBE is to systematically unfold the inner creative potential of every student and create a significant influence of coherence and harmony in the school, community and nation.

In this role Frances continues to help students optimise brain function and unfold their inner creative potential.

Thus a strong foundation is laid to enable students to think and act ethically, contributing significantly to progress and peace on our planet Earth.
