A cozy space to share ideas, stories, and meaningful conversation without pressure or homework.Â

Each month, we gather online or in person, whichever suits you best, to explore a book that sparks new ideas and meaningful conversation.
This book club is based on my "4F Framework" - it's free, fun, flexible, and focused on uplifting topics and titles. If you crave connection and community, come join us! This book club is not about the page count; it's about coming together. You can read or listen to the book, skim the pages, or just show up with an open mind.Â
Here's what you can expect:
- Engaging discussions that spark fresh perspectives
- Opportunities to share experiences and hear from others
- A relaxed, friendly environment where everyone is welcome
Bring your thoughts, questions, or simply your curiosity. Let's grow together!

🌿 Costa Rica Was Magical
Return to Me Retreat ~Â January 18-24, 2026
Our retreat to Verdesana, Costa Rica, was magical! Nestled in the cloud forest, we enjoyed daily yoga and breathwork, nourishing meals, deluxe accomodations, guided mindfuness sessions, lush landscapes, and hikes to waterfalls and volcanoes. We connected with heart-centered men and women, soaked in nature, and left feeling more refreshed, inspired, and energized. Our next Costa Rica retreat will be held April 19-24, 2027, in Domical, another Imiloa Institute property located on the beach.Â

♥️✨ Grace Winery
Love Yourself Retreat ~ February 7-8, 2026
We indulged in a day of self-care, creativity, and deep connection in Grace Winery's beautiful Vineyard Barn. Participants enjoyed yoga, sound bath healing, an aura awareness circle, guided meditation, EFT tapping, flower arranging, and activities designed to help you slow down, relax, and reconnect with yourself and others. The catered lunch was delicious, and dinner in the Tasting Room was exceptional. After an incredible day and evening, everyone spent the night in luxurious accomodations at the Inn at Grace Winery. Join us for our next event!
Real Stories. Real Impact.
"Christy's passion for wellbeing and education shines through in every session she teaches. She creates a warm, inclusive environment that encourages genuine reflection and practical application. Her deep knowledge, approachable style, and ability to connect theory with real-world teaching made the certification course both inspiring and immediately useful. I left feeling energized, supported, and better equipped to foster positivity and resilience in my students and myself."
~ Caroline W.
 "A beautiful reset! This women's retreat was exactly what I needed - a nourishing day to reconnect with myself and others. From the peaceful breakfast to the grounding nature walk at Mt. Airy Lavender Farm, every moment was thoughtfully designed. The mindfulness practices were simple yet powerful, and the creative craft was meaningful and reflective. I left feeling renewed, supported, and inspired, with practical tools to bring more peace and pupose to daily life."
~ Lori H.
"I am incredibly grateful to Christy for giving me back my life. She expertly guided me back to myself after I'd spent years abdicating self-responsibility and looking for a magic wand to fix everything (especially me!). Christy is passionate about helping and guiding others and is gifted with insight, empathy, and compassion. She will gently guide and encourage you even when things feel impossible. If you're considering coaching with her, take the leap - your future self will thank you!"

HEY THERE,
I'm Christy
the Founder of the Positive Education Organization.
I've spent over 25 years in education seeing firsthand what truly helps people thrive-beyond grades, test scores, or lesson plans. It's about mindset, character, and the skills to live with intention, resilience, and purpose.
With a master's degrees in curriculum design and educational leadership, and certification in positive psychology, I create programs and experiences that are grounded in research but practical for everyday life. I love designing workshops, retreats, and coaching opportunities that help people grow, feel inspired, and support others along the way.Â
Bringing these experiences together, I developed INSPIRE Essentials: a framework to help individuals flourish while equipping them to guide others toward thriving. My work is guided by a commitment to make learning practical, impactful, and enjoyable, so that the benefits extend beyond one person and ripple out to communities.
