Early Stage 1 & Stage 1
Give your mind a break…
Join us for half an hour of storytelling, movement, sensory meditation, and reflective art creation and feel the healing effects of mindfulness!
Our experienced Nature Educators will lead you through a session to create space in each student’s mind and enable them to feel calm afterwards.
Children of all ages can benefit from these tools and the simple practice of bringing a gentle, accepting attitude to the present moment. It'll also help teachers, parents and caregivers by promoting happiness, creating connection and relieving stress.
Research shows that mindfulness leads to reduced stress, anxiety and depression. It also improves academic skills, attention and concentration as well as social skills and self-esteem through developing emotional and behaviour regulation skills.*
