Love Centered And Value-Based Education Works
Have you considered solving your cultural enrichment, retention, leadership, and professional development needs through a value-based approach? Better yet, do you plan in place to navigate through various forms of conflict? We are Love Is A Parable, an education non-profit, dedicated to the vision of bringing people together, through Love. Our value-based approach is comprised of our reflective thinking technique and Sacred Box Theory Methodology.
For clarity, the sacred box has been an authentic core concept that has evolved over the years, raising levels of consciousness about self-perceptions. Upon a deepened synthesis of the concept of “self,” the Self-Congruity Theory (Sirgy, 2018) was aligned as a contiguous theoretical mesh to broaden the sacred box. “Self-congruity theory defines the psychological process and outcome in which consumers compare their perception of a brand personality or brand-user image with their own actual, ideal, social and/or ideal social self-concepts” (ResearchGate ).
Our sacred box concept intersects with an adaptation of Sirgy’s theory to offer a deepened perspective of the concept of self as a basis of the things that we value as sacred, affecting more than our purchasing choices but the means by which we govern and view our lives and interconnections. To this point, we must not underestimate the tenacity of an individual to protect things of value.
Through our workshops, trainings, and courses, we focus on intrinsic motivation and the individualized needs of our participants to assist them in functioning more effectively and well with others. Our goal is to aid in helping individuals and organizations thrive while maintaining perpetual and healthy growth.

With the construction of our learning materials, nearly 20 years of andragogy experience and a decade of behavioral health and health care management experience were taken into account. In addition to bringing a much-needed curriculum to individuals and organizations, be confident in knowing the level of expertise utilized in its development and design. We pride ourselves on providing life-changing, practical deliverable content that is relevant and relational.
Through our reflective thinking approach and in conjunction with our Sacred Box Theory, we focus on the internal workings of self, assisting others to reduce the tendency to rely on restrictive ideologies, limiting beliefs, and assumptive stances.
These are defined as:
RESTRICTIVE IDEOLOGIES
a system of ideas and ideals that cause one to feel or show inclination or prejudice for or against someone or something
ASSUMPTIVE THINKING
The process of using one’s mind to presuppose conclusions without first acknowledging it to be true
LIMITING BELIEFS
The firmly held opinion or conviction of things that one accepts as true or real with a consideration or reason by depriving freedoms and/or placing limitations to take into account of having and/or staying within a particular place or experience regarding something with full trust and confidence.
