Educational Leadership Training that Teaches SEL:
Tici’ess was featured as a resource in The Association of California School Administrators’ Mental Wellness Toolkit for Educators, highlighting the impact of her work in mindfulness and social-emotional learning on the California school system.
Understanding trauma and how to lead with mindfulness and empathy are so critical to the success of our schools and students, especially during times like now. You can lean on this toolkit as a guide, a daily practice, or a resource for raising the important questions and starting the dialogue on social-emotional learning in our schools.
You cannot teach what you do not embody

Praise for BE-ing with Tovi
I’ve had the privilege of attending several workshops facilitated by Tovi, and there’s a reason I am drawn back for more... Tovi has challenged me to work outside my comfort zone while creating a safe and healing space to do so.
