Transform what and how you learn
with 888 MINDS – the future of intentional, explicit, focused learning.
Welcome to 6-hour school weeks, intrinsic curiosity, and the basic foundations of reading, writing and skill development.
Introducing a space where new modalities, methods and knowledge are offered without literal and physical bloat, anxiety and toxic patterns.An overweight mind is an unstable mind.
This isn't simply knowledge. 888 supports the development of new brain pathways, possibilities, and realities.
Most education systems come with top-down protocols and forceful memorization side-effects that leave you in a cycle of anxiety-filled patterns and toxicity. We have connected the principles of awareness, psychology and research to transform how you learn, and what you fuel yourself with.

tips to support the learner at home
Create a home environment in which learners become active beings, both mentally and physically.
Carefully plan out conscious and curricular goals, including the use of mind awareness, print awareness, and more.
Turn public and private family experiences into learning opportunities.
Expose learners to opportunities that challenge their conscious mind on varying mental and physical levels.
Engage in reading and drawing daily, including themes chosen by the learner.
Model and engage in kinesthetic activities with the learner that activates many senses, such as making collages or listening to audiobooks.
Make learning public. Display creations, both artistic and literacy based, in your home.
Do not automatically correct what you believe to be a "wrong answer." Seek to understand the learner's thought process first.
Praise all efforts.
Give yourself and the learner grace in knowing that you are human. Slowing down and surrendering to the journey will suit you well.
a growth mindset at home
Mindsets in the Classroom notes that "a child's innate ability contributes to only about 25% of achievement. The other 75% are psychosocial skills that must be deliberately developed."5 important skills that we can help learners develop include:
perseverance
self confidence
resiliency
coping with disappointment and failure
abilities to handle constructive criticism and feedback
High vibration = qualify life.
bio
I am a deep soul, tracing my steps backwards
Everything in life has led me to this moment, here and now.I am an educator in the realm of linguistic academia, using my passion in reading, writing and art to revive the learnings we as humans receive. Upon finishing my Masters in Education, I realized that years of studying led me here on purpose; to a space where I can transform what and how I learn. In turn, offering this to others to encourage a new educational model is my niche. Stepping into the paradigm of physically co-creating my reality has been of great service to me. Things, however, weren't always this way.Rewind with me for a minute. Prior to owning such clarity, I entered a season of life where I felt disconnected from everything. Part of this was from becoming more consciously aware, and part of this was from birthing 3 humans. Motherhood cast me into an entirely different paradigm where who I was at my core became challenged and tested in the most difficult ways. My quest to understand myself, guide my children, and seek answers to the deepest questions of life grew and grew. Naturally, I looked inward.I had everything, and yet, my soul was calling for more. Something had to change. I stumbled across a writer by the name of Dan Koe. I studied his work, inside and out, which led me to many authors who wrote about genius principles. Koe's philosophies spoke to me so much that I unsubscribed from everything that wasn't serving me, and tuned into his practices; things that were serving me. When I saw him in person in Phoenix Arizona (2022), I knew this was a universal sign.I stepped heavily into the modalities of reading, reflecting, writing, painting and spending time in solitude with meditative practices. Slowly, but with force, these areas guided my healing phases. Like a domino effect, I was introduced to many authors and philosophers who not only shared the same values as me, but offered a different and more energetic approach to life and productivity. From this, the principles of astral projection entered my life, and it is here that clarity came knocking at my door. As I questioned why I was yearning to master the art of what I desired, I soon realized - the answers were within me all along.
We are not so different you and I
Our passions call us higher for significant reasons. These interests are placed within us because they're tied to our purposes here on earth. As I began acknowledging this scientific fact, I started to feel my soul pulling me further and further away from the semantics of education, rooted in top-down standardized approaches, and more towards learning with the whole being. In my experience, educational institutions have encompassed anything but working with the whole learner. I am here to change that narrative.This desire to want more for myself and my family, has created a curiosity and desire within me that I am forever grateful for.
Welcome to 888 MINDS, a heightened knowledge platform a for intentional learning.888 is an angel number that signifies many beginnings, such as abundance, success, power and opportunity. My favourites tend to be prosperity & balance.My offerings evoke a direct response to a higher state of consciousness. Through awareness and education, I am here to guide the narrative for those I work alongside. By shining a light on hidden truths, we begin to draw the innate interests of the learner out. This investment takes the utmost patience as we begin to shed the coding of what we thought we knew.Your mind operates outside of the physical plane without time, space, matter, and of course, limitation. In response, this is just the beginning.Bella SiumIche-liebe-dich ⋯ I love you.

why now?
purpose is the new oil
The connection between how we can use creativity and texts to fuel our future is crucial.
Education is at an all-time low
All over the world, schools are overcrowded. Statistics Canada reported that western Canadian schools can have as many as 57 students in one class. Intensive supports, including intellectual and learning disabilities are rising without a projected decline. As our world gets sicker and as learners arrive at school with more challenges than ever before, the job of educating falls on all of us.The goal: to provide learners with experiences that fuel their future.This goal is far from what traditional educational systems offer.
learning comes from curiosity
The average teacher and learner is overworked and overstimulated.The daunting role of a teacher is filled with top-down practices where the driver of assessment protocols takes away from the everyday purpose of teaching. Our data driven world lives in a fast-paced environment, but what are we doing with this information?Encompassed within this, the day to day classroom is filled with stimulating environments and energies, unexpected situations and events, including behavioural challenges, countless parent meetings, supervision, extracurricular expectations, fundraisers, and constant scaffolding and differentiation as new students arrive. The majority of the day is filled with class management protocol and of course, distraction. The list goes on and on throughout the year.The daunting role of a learner has an abundance of information thrown at them for 6.5 hours a day, 5 days per week. At the heart of this lies a "drill and kill" philosophy, where memorization produces "achievement." In short, creativity is being killed, daily.
school reasoning
Traditional schools were not designed with the learner in mind.Do quick Google search on "John Rockefeller - school reasoning." He publicly quoted "I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers." His systems were set in place as a means to train obedient citizens and future factory workers.Fast forward to today, the harmony within schools is broken for many reasons.
The majority of the day is encompassed with an outpouring of information and distraction
Unnecessary "work" and distraction compounds
Chaos tips your energy stores, resulting in high anxiety and panic
You breakdown or "fail"
Pay attention to this moment, particularly around how you feel. You are receiving the information you were meant to.
Avoid being assigned a future
Throughout my work experience, I have engaged in many conversations, asked questions, reflected, journaled key takeaways, researched and written paper after paper. These practices kept bringing me back to state of continual reflection.If creativity and passion in education stops, learning stops.Learners require these three components to choose their own future, instead of being assigned one:
Calm environments, including harmonious energies
Fundamentals that encourage questioning
Laser focus rooted creative opportunities, outlets, and skill development
advance your mind with me
Learners should be having positive experiences with like-minded individuals and books, daily. They should be using these resources as tools to deepen their skills and understandings, including how they relate to the world around them.I am a strong advocate for quality education over quantity. My approaches and resources are designed to show learners a different educational model; one that breaks free from conventional moulds and shows them a different system.
Learning freedom philosophies and foundations from a young age codes your mind to think for itself.
Nobody can replace your thinking patterns.
Your belief system, ideas, habits, creativity, purposes, experiences and skills are yours to keep; nurture them.
Knowledge is not acquired from without but merely recollected from within. The recollection of knowledge from within is an electromagnetic process of thinking, which is exactly under man's control, as is the generation of the same power to "turn a wheel."To know how to think in light from within is to open the doors of all knowledge.

⋯ TRANSCEND YOUR WORK ⋯
We start with what you have.
We start with where you are.
We build on this.Envision this:Your physical brain = physical computer
Your mind = hard driveThe hard drive is only as successful as how deep and focused it operates. Resets and reboots are necessary where focus and dedication are key.
Everything in life shapes your identity.
Every word you comprehend and every experience you take in shapes your identity. Knowing this, who learners surround themselves with is imperative. Tutoring mentorships focus on the following areas:
Building emotional strength
Building resilience
Building purpose rooted in consciousness
Meaningful, peaceful education must become a fundamental habit in your life. Learning comes from consistent problem-solving, not memorization.Our offerings teach skills that you will not learn in traditional overcrowded educational systems.
