Join us for an interactive and relaxing experience where you'll craft your very own calming bottle. This unique workshop is designed to help you find moments of serenity and mindfulness in the midst of a busy world. 🔮 During this hands-on session, you'll have the opportunity to personalize your own calming bottle using a variety of materials such as glitter, sequins, water, and more. As you carefully construct your bottle, you'll not only engage in a creative activity but also immerse yourself in a moment of focused relaxation as you learn techniques to foster mindfulness as you add the elements to your bottle. The gentle movement of the glitter and the soothing colors will captivate your senses and create a mesmerizing visual experience. Plus, you'll have a beautiful reminder of your ability to find peace within. ⭐️ In class, students are expected to pay attention, use quiet inside voices, and participate by interacting on video and asking questions, if they choose to! 🫧 How is the class structured? 🫧 Introduction: Brief overview of mindfulness and meditation.

Learning Needs
As someone who has learned to manage her anxiety and ADHD, I strive to provide a safe space for children of all abilities. These needs are supported by incorporating movement into the class, and altering the class structure if needed.
Parental Guidance
This class is led by a wellness and behavioral health specialist with experience in mindfulness and relaxation techniques. While I bring a strong background in promoting mental and emotional well-being, please note that this class is not intended to provide individual or group therapy, nor will any diagnoses be made. The focus is on teaching practical strategies for managing stress and promoting calm through creative activities. Your child's participation is encouraged in a supportive, non-therapeutic environment. Please ensure that your child has a quiet, comfortable space to work on their project, and be mindful that adult supervision is recommended, especially for younger learners.
