What is the Conscious Consumer Course

-
Have a deeper understanding of their values and reduce the gap between values and actions.
-
Feel energized to make shifts in their personal lives that will help them feel more conscious and connected in their consumer habits.
-
Feel empowered to contribute to broader systems change for more conscious production and consumption in our communities and world.
-
Know they are not alone in their conscious consumer efforts.​
