WINTER 25', CONNECTIONS, Friday, March 7th from 5-7pm
A tween/early teen hangout night (with a twist!)
"Connections" is our new workshop series aimed at building confidence, emotional intelligence, empathy, gratitude and mindfulness. We are going to kick-off the series with "The Story of Me".
Wouldn’t it be great to have a personalized book detailing all the reasons that you are fantastic and all the ways you make a positive difference in the world?
The workshop is designed to teach children the truth about the amazing, powerful, creative beings that they are! We will cover important concepts like affirmations, positive beliefs, and gratitude and use these concepts to create individualized keepsake books celebrating them!
Some of the pages they can choose from are-
*All that I am (affirmations for greatness)
*Things I love about myself
*All the people I love
*My favorite person to spend time with
*I can make a difference in the world by...
*Activities that make me feel happy and peaceful
*I feel healthy and strong when I ...
*I can do hard things! (accomplishments that I am proud of)
*I am learning how to….
*I am so grateful!
*A Thank You letter to someone I appreciate
*Acts of Kindness
*Spread kindness everywhere you go
*Ways I can make a difference in the world around me
The other option is art for those who don't love writing. Students can work on art pages of their very own including designing an affirmation mandala, meditative coloring pages, drawing and picture collaging. By the end of the class they will have the beginnings of beautiful book all about THEM!
These exercises show kids just how present love is in their lives, how powerful they are as a source for spreading good in the world, how capable they are of doing hard things and achieving their goals, and how much they have to be grateful for!
