Our Story: Thrive & Survive

Dolphin Learning is purpose-driven.  We teach women to defend themselves with simple and effective ways in a safe, fun environment.  Once we know how, we really can defend ourselves. The focus is on what we can do with techniques that work!  Workshop participants  feel safer and more confident after taking the 3-hour course.

This year we launch a new course on how to Flourish in Uncertain Times. This is an interesting and fun exploration of new ways to use our brains.  Learn how small changes in how we think creates improved health, better luck and increased abundance.  All based on science.  It turns out, we have more power than we knew.
