Happy Memorial Day

The TEAMS Institute salutes and appreciates the women and men of the armed services that have sacrificed to keep this country safe for us all, especially our children.
  

 

We Need To Talk

People who reported having a traumatic experience and who kept the experience a secret had far more health problems than people who talked openly.  When we share and experience any sense of connection, our brains release the hormone oxytocin.  Oxytocin is a hormone that increases feelings of well-being and happiness.

 

And The Teacher Shall Appear

We have had the distinct pleasure for a few years to share words, wisdom and wit with lovely young women on their journey to womanhood.  The TEAMS Institute supports the work of Sisters In Society Taking Action and their annual Rites of Passage Program that occurs every fall.

 

A Word With You

Function words can detect emotion, thoughts and who we believe we are in the world.  Function words include pronouns (I, she, it), articles (a, an, the), prepositions (up, with), auxiliary verbs (is, don't), negations (no, never), conjunctions (but, and), quantifiers (few, most) and common adverbs (very, really).

You Deserve It

Everyone wants to feel valued, important and special. Compliment, affirm and uplift those who touch your life from day to day.  Genuine acts of praise and recognition can motivate and influence.

Creative Collaboration

The TEAMS Institute is excited about the collaboration with Nja Onê's Mind Body and Soul Saturday; a tranquil blending of all the arts to heal, enlighten and inspire your mind, body and soul.  Nja Onê (En-jah Oh-nee) is an Internationally recognized artist of a One-Woman Stage Show based on her Mixed Media, as well as an artist of Sculptures, Vases, Murals, Children’s Book Illustrator, Jewelry Creator, and Art Instructor.

Pleasant Side Effects

Hugging helps the body's immune system, it keeps you healthier, it cures depression, it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it's invigorating, it's rejuvenating, it has no unpleasant side effects, and hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.
