Nurturing a new generation of emotionally empowered gardeners!

​

Shanna Truffini’s You Are a Gardener® is rooted in the belief that regardless of our age, background, culture or location, we are all ‘gardeners’ with the power to plant the seeds for positive change within ourselves, our community, and our world.​

 

Staying rooted in a calm and confident mindset enables us to nurture more 'flowers' (joy & gratitude) and fewer 'weeds' (stress & worries) in our daily lives. By addressing our worries through the 'pull your weeds' practice (recognizing and sharing our stresses with trusted individuals), we create space for emotional empowerment and cultivate the seeds of positive change.​

 

By choosing healthy ‘gardening tools’; the activities and exercises that help us feel confident, creative and calm, we hold the power to manage our own emotions and stay rooted in a calmer mindset.​

​​

Let’s dig into a new generation of gardeners that spread seeds of kindness, empathy, gratitude, inclusivity, respect, and integrity.
