Emotional Intelligence Workshop for Children

This workshop is for children of all sorts. Before anything, a safe space is created for children to feel comfortable to grow, learn, be silly, make mistakes. Children don’t learn from a place of discomfort so establishing that friendship is the priority in the beginning, before anything else. - In terms of the session, we start with a little guided meditation and discuss concepts around meditation, and what it means to observe our thoughts. - Stretching and different yoga poses will be explored as well in order for us to explore the connection we have with our bodies. - Later, chats about our emotional experience of the world will be had – this is a chance for children to not only share, but hear about the experience of their friends. We’ll relate, cultivate empathy and develop our emotion-oriented vocabulary! - Afterwards we will have another short meditation where they will be encouraged to express their experience through a variety of methods – drawing, verbally, through music, etc. - We will usually end off with a special kind of dance party where children will be encouraged to really feel the music, and to move their bodies with what they feel. Sessions begin March 16th!
