This summit is for you if:

Join thousands of people who started the transformation: accepting their past, becoming aware of their present, and building trust for a better future.Find out practical advice from 29 international and Romanian experts, that will help you build harmonious relationships, strong communities, and a fulfilling life.

You want to build better relationships with those around you.

This might mean resolving an issue - children’s tantrums, feeling like your partner doesn’t understand you, neverending conflict with your boss. At the same time, it could be about small and valuable steps - spending more quality time with your family, reigniting the spark, forming a new friend group at work.

You want to feel better with yourself.

Meaning higher self-esteem, better decision-making, and being more present in important relationships. You are ready to take small steps that will change your life.

You are passionate about your work as a teacher or school director.

You care about your students, and you want to support them beyond the subject you teach. You understand the importance of wellbeing education and its effect on young people.

You want to contribute to changing Romanian culture (and beyond).

From mistrust to trust, from abuse to kindness, empathy and compassion. We started this process for our children; they will be well if we are, because our behaviour towards others has a greater impact than we realise.
