Creative Lives

Creative Lives Director, Maureen Burford, is bringing Ellen Tadd’s understandings of the human energy system (or chakra system) to educational settings in New England-with astonishing results. Each of seven energy centers Tadd describes play a role in the actualization of our potential. Tadd’s work illuminates how to keep our energy system functioning well so that children can easily focus, develop inner well-being and self-discipline, cultivate collaborative and leadership abilities, and find the courage to follow their dreams. Tadd’s Framework is a guidebook for educational reform and wise parenting. As teachers and parents begin to understand the mechanics of the chakra system, they can discover why some current practices work so well, why some need improvement, and why some should be discarded. “Every child in our school should be learning these skills.”
