MSE processes nurture self-determination and a sense of belonging by cultivating companionship, creating accessibility for the unknowable human potential for greater unity and community through experiential learning and growth.

“In human development, freedom and the genuine feel of self-determination are only concepts until they become developed and differentiated through one’s narrative story. This is a quality of life goal and outcome, produced through reciprocal relationship-building processes that incorporate a framework of Gentle Teaching, where learning and living begin with feeling safe and loved.” ~Dr. Anthony M. McCrovitz, Executive Director
