正念入門 - 寫作、工藝和反思

Learners will craft and create, write, color, and draw as they explore some fun wellbeing activities. 

This is a class of self-exploration and mindfulness, which aims to help young learners develop ways to regulate their own emotions. Each week will follow a different theme, from confidence, calmness, and gratitude, to how to deal with negativity and some not so good habits!

Week 1: Crafting a Memory Box
Craft and design a box to store your most precious items in. You can decorate the box in any way you would like – you just need to make sure it reflects who you are!

Week 2: Building Confidence
This class explores ways to boost your confidence whilst exploring some of the reasons why we do not always feel at our strongest. 
Activity: Design a Positivity Poster for your bedroom.

Week 3: Staying Calm

Craft supplies are needed for each session, and these are listed in the supply section below and as a downloadable list in the classroom upon enrollment. Please note, due to the nature of some of the crafting activities, class time may be extended by 5 minutes if learners need additional time. 

This class is intended to be social, and learners are encouraged to keep both video and audio on during each session. If this would be an issue for your learner, please do reach out to me before booking a class.
