Want to know more about the facilitators and what they offer :

Getting creative with Kay: from THINK PURPLE

we will start our journey getting creative with Kay. They will be encouraged to let their feelings and intuition guide them through the creative process and will be amazed at what evolves when they discover how much fun it is to just go with the flow and have some fun.

after a 2 hour painting experience the teens will head out on a mindfulness walk!

Mindfulness Walk

"Shinrin-Yoku" :

Shinrin in Japanese means “forest,” and yoku means “bath.” So shinrin-yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the forest through our senses.

A walking mindfulness meditation, supports our body and mind to align. While focusing on simply taking each step mindfully and enjoying all that surrounds us, we no longer worry about what's going on in our head.

This is a fun and interactive way to engage the mind in the simple yet powerful effects of "Awareness". Our object of focus isn't so much about our breath (as it is when we are seated), it is more about the rhythm of our steps as we become completely at one with our natural environment.

We begin to become aware of and appreciate things that we may have never noticed before.

At the end of this part of our session we will come together to share our experiences and what we are grateful for while enjoying snacks in the park.

Finding stillness with Jodie:

Mindfulness Matters sessions with Jodie are designed to build self-esteem and encourage self-expression while developing simple tools and strategies to calm and balance busy minds.

Finding stillness leads to better sleep, stronger relationships, and increased self-awareness. Teens will learn breathing exercises and other simple strategies to bring calm to stressful and challenging situations they may face. They will leave with a brighter outlook so they can begin to create more peace, love, happiness and gratitude in their lives.

Jodie will guide the teens through a relaxing meditation soothed by essential oils, beautiful Harmonic Chimes and other magical instrumental sounds.

Sound helps them to let go of any worry, stress or anxious feelings and experience a deep sense of peace and stillness in their hearts and minds.

We can't wait to see you!

Kay and Jodie
