MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. ( KRON ) — Parents of students at Mountain View Whisman School District in Mountain View, California, are frustrated after finding out the district signed a $189,000 school-approved contract for what they describe as 160 “guided meditation sessions for district leadership team members.”
The MVWSD signed an agreement with Alycia Diggs Chaves, owner of Blue Violet Energy and a self-described “energy healer.” Her practice averages about $1,200 per meditation session.
According to the agreement, initially reported by the Chronicle , Chaves’ services are designed to “help leaders manage and reduce daily stress levels that negatively impact their well-being and, therefore, their effectiveness in their role.”

Despite previously working with Chaves, school district leaders said they had never looked at Chaves’ Blue Violet Energy website prior to hiring and signing the agreement with the spiritual healer.
