Our work is rooted in our Four Pillars of Spirituality, Exercise, Education, and Community. We are able to apply trauma-informed care principles, therapeutic, restorative and healing action steps, and what we call, "Being and Now Practices". Majority of our programming occurs outdoors in Nature all year long.

Living Natural

Facilitating a daily practice through activities to live more intuitively/universally rather than worldly. Utilize the tools of the world, but don’t let them use You.

A FEW EXAMPLES OF THE CHALLENGES WE ADDRESS WITH THE YOUTH

  • A Sense of Belonging: understanding and acceptance of why and how our youth are already great and meant for greatness

  • Peer Pressure: how being the best You reduces the pressure to conform, fit in, or compare oneself to others

  • Organization: how to set, plan, and create positive experiences. 

  • Internal Conflict and Esteem: how to improve spiritual, physical, and mental fitness (overall wellness).

Ensuring relevance to the participants, the methodology can vary based on age group of participants. Workshops are meant to be very inspiring and encouraging. We directly dive into the everyday pressures and challenges of participants while applying our pillars, principles, strategies, and overall messaging helping them to overcome and go beyond their limitations. In helping to effectively relay our “Love...No Ego” message, we used a variety of props, including sketch boards, our very own puzzles, our very own tool box, timers, yoga/exercise mats, music, and more, based on the participants. Note: we utilize Nature (outdoors, hikes, group walks) as often as possible to help hone in the message of Love...No Ego.

"I remembered what my mentor Freddy said about not letting the ego part take over. I found myself in a hostile situation at school where a kid wanted to fight me. And I also knew that if I would have fought him, I probably would have been kicked off my soccer team. I restrained myself from fighting. I chose what I love, which was soccer, and not this egotistical situation. I now practice LoveNoEgo on a daily basis with so many things. Thanks Freddy!"

- G.K., anonymous middle school student

"What Freddy has taught me most is to simply and genuinely to do what I love without stepping on other people's toes." 

- Demetrius Davis, Buckingham County High School
