A New Vision for
Holistic Education

Certifications for Parents and Educators
in Ellen Tadd’s Pioneering
Framework for Wise Education®

Creative Lives is pleased to share a new, holistic approach to teaching and learning based on Ellen Tadd’s discoveries about the human energy system, or chakra system, and its fundamental role in human development. As early adopters of this Framework, we have seen firsthand the profound impact this approach has on children and the adults who serve and raise them. 

Tadd’s premise is simple but profound: honing well-function across the seven main chakras yields optimal learning and development for all individuals.

Framework training courses offer practical tools and strategies that improve your well-being and help young people:

  • Relieve anxiety and depression

  • Develop focus and concentration

  • Make wise decisions

  • Value themselves and be curious

  • Cultivate emotional stability

  • Skillfully collaborate with peers

  • Build discipline and responsibility

  • Become more resilient

  • Strive for excellence

  • Navigate frustration & disappointment

These essential skills help young people succeed in school, develop positive relationships, tackle challenges, and share their unique gifts.

The needs of children concern us all. Creative Lives has brought Tadd’s Framework to thousands of youth with exceptional results. To achieve substantive change, we are working on larger-scale integration.

Join us and be part of the solution.

  • "We are noticing ripple effects throughout the school day. Children are expressing creatively where they were too shy before. They're talking with each other about new ways of handling their feelings. There are children for whom this approach has truly shifted their direction forward."
