Creating a Joyous Family Workshops
Creating a Family Vision and Mission: A Parenting Workshop for Couples
When: Wednesday June 13, 7-9 pm (offered again on Sunday, September 9, 3-5 pm)
Where: More Mojo Studios, 1347 Church Street, SF
Cost: $50/Couple
This class is designed for couples to dream, hope, share and create their family mission and vision. Parents lament the lack of time with their partner to have these meaningful conversations about core values and finding common goals. This is the time. In this workshop, we will brainstorm together to get ideas flowing, then we will break up into couples, and develop the guiding principles of your family. Think of it as a productive date night, a time to enjoy each other without children, build the framework for parenting, and establish your unique family culture. Join us!
Space is limited, and classes fill. Please reserve your spot soon.

"All of us come to parenting with hopes for our children, our families, and ourselves. We imagine the families we want to create. We dream of all that we want for our children. We hold a vision."
--Becoming the Parent You Want To Be, Davis and Keyser
"A family mission statement is a combined, unified expression from all family members of what your family is all about-- what it is you really want to do and be-- and the principles you choose to govern your family life."

What parents are saying about this workshop:
This class was a breath of fresh air for my partner and I. We finally had the chance to take a deep dive into our values and perspectives on parenting—something we never make time for! Nancy creates the right down-to-earth atmosphere that allowed us to laugh and really talk about the things that matter most to us.
--Marc and Ariela
Nancy takes a very overwhelming topic of “family mission statement” and breaks it down gradually so that you leave class with a very good idea of what you and your partner value and want to create with your kids. It was really nice seeing everyone’s examples at the end and also planning a future date to look back on our mission to revise and solidify it. We hope to go to a future session with Nancy- what a unique and productive date night!

The Creating a Family Vision and Mission class with Nancy was time well spent -- the class feels like a gift that every family should enjoy. Nancy led us through a balanced session of independent thought, authentic connections, and group sharing. The night flowed effortlessly with ideas and values evolving into a collection of statements that resonate with how we envision our family. The statements clarify the things we cherish and highlight the things we hope to strive toward. We highly recommend this class and we appreciate Nancy's skilled facilitation.

Nancy created a very welcoming and safe space for us to have a great discussion about our vision for our family. She provided thought provoking questions and our favorite part was being able to break out and discuss these with each other. We loved being able to walk away with our mission already created so we could share it with our small children.
-- Ian and Susan
Nancy's workshop was well thought out and structured, while still giving each couple the freedom to find their own way to a family vision and mission. The prompts and examples were helpful, and being surrounded by other couples trying to discover the same thing created a great environment for focusing and thinking things through. The session gave us a thought-provoking jumping off point for continuing this important work at home, as a family.
