March 21: Mindful Senses –

Through the book Hurry Up! participants will connect with a young child to develop their understanding of mindfulness. Together the group will play with sound, cultivating deep listening ears, before they set out on a 4 Senses Scavenger Hunt through the woods. Participants will end their session by creating a nature based mindful sensory box to bring home and use to help cultivate their mindful practice.

April 11: Seeds of Kindness

Through story and play, participants will use their imaginations and breaths to become a seed that will transform into a sunflower, learn playful breaths for cultivating kindness, and use their senses to notice their gratitude. Participants will end their session by planting seeds in a small pot that they will bring home and nurture to help cultivate their mindful gratitude practice.

May 2: Mindful Movements – Cultivating Care for Mother Earth and all living beings

Through a shared story participants will learn about some of the tiniest creatures living in our woods. We will activate our imaginations to transform into a few woodland creatures and explore animal mindful movements and breaths.  Together we will practice a walk of peace to notice the many forms of life in our surroundings, and we’ll use our bug habitats for noticing, observing and treating a few tiny insects with care.  Participants will end their day creating their own animal breath buddy to take home to help cultivate their buddy breathing practice.
