Love Centered and Value-Based Education Works
Love Is A Parable
An Approach and Methodology that’s built on togetherness!
Have you considered solving your cultural enrichment, retention, leadership, and professional development needs through a value-based approach? 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. If you are ready to increase productivity and ensure a successful productivity implementation, partner with us. Participants will receive:

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.
We are perfect for Secondary and Post-Secondary Education Institutions
Our courses and workshops would translate well as an elective or mandatory entry/exiting course while serving as a retention and attrition strategy as well. Though entry or exiting course is ideal, please note this could serve well as a life enrichment or personal resource course. Below, you will find a few of our Career Readiness and Student Success Workshops utilized with some of our educational partners.
