Student Life | Cross Cultural Environments | Life & Academic Resilience
Opportunás was created for for students and young adults.
In small groups or individual sessions, students discover, learn and benefit from developed mental / emotional resources. Often untapped, this approach of ‘inner-discovery’ creates resilience and abilities to free the individual to understand their own mental and emotional habits.
A co-creative process, Gabriela and Becca utilize ancestral wisdom and focusing modalities that impact and encourage the seeds of:
Awareness of the self with non-judgmental attention.
The interconnectivity between thoughts, feelings, outer experience, body, behavior and choice.
Generating a non-reactive response and high-altitude perspectives on challenging topics and themes.
These tools and skills have the ability to positively influence the shape and function of our brain. Through the realization that everything is constantly changing, these powerful and practical skill can help shift our human experience.
Our work is done with small groups or in 1:1 settings.
Our work:
In Spring 2017, Opportunas partnered with Veritas Prep Academy in Springfield, Mass to deliver its first pilot program to 80+ 7th grade scholars.
This Opportunas Series explored, self and group awareness, and sharpened and enhanced crucial personal development skills. Over 10 weeks, we explored social scenes, cultural questions and techniques through a tool called ‘Codes.’ By decoding the world through a clear lens of a healthy emotional body, the seminar offered a different approach to educational resilience through emotional clarity.
