BEHIND THE SCENE
Spirit of Ànimo+
The marathon taught Brian that life isn’t about running alone or chasing the wrong motivations—it’s about finding the strength to keep going, supported by a community. Inspired by this, Animo+ Education was born to empower families—parents and children alike—to move, learn, and laugh together while unlocking their true potential.

Our Motto
A Garden of Learning
If you chase butterflies, you will never catch them, you have to let them come to you. Find a good environment and tend to your garden. If you don’t have one yet, start where you are. One day plenty of flowers will blossom. Now is the time to nurture the seeds.
We see education as a garden. Seeds—representing children’s potential—need time, care, and the right environment to flourish. Like plants, kids thrive with consistent nurturing, a bit of fertilizer (even the unglamorous kind!), and freedom from stressors. Our role? To provide the tools and support so families can grow together.
Learning isn’t just from books or classrooms—it’s in the dirt, the experiences, and the moments that don’t go as planned. Through interdependence, we teach children and parents that working together is how we bloom.
