Kids Yoga Workshop

---

During this Kids Yoga Workshop for 5-8 year olds, your children will learn some valuable mindfulness tools that they can carry into their everyday lives. Teaching children these tools while they are young will help them to navigate their worlds with more awareness of how to process their big feelings, through movement, quieting the mind, listening to stories, playing games, and breathing intentionally. We can't wait to share the gifts of yoga with your children!  

In the sacred men's circle, we sit together and drink cacao as we focus on an intention for the night. This can be simple (like "clarity" or "peace") or something more specific ("I'd like to learn how to better show up in my relationship" or "Why am I self-sabotaging in [insert aspect of your life here]."). Then we partake in a tobacco-based ceremonial plant medicine that helps us receive answers to our intention—or takes us in a totally different direction based on our inner need. Some choose to abstain from this medicine and instead hold space for others going through their process, which is a profound experience in and of itself. For those feeling called to share, we share our insights and learn from each other. Then we lay down for breath work, receive additional insight, and share again if we're called.

We suggest comfy clothes and a water bottle. Other than that, just come up with a desire to show up for yourself.

This workshop will include a 20-minute intention setting salt bowl ceremony where participants add herbs, crystals, flower petals, and their intentions into a bowl of epsom salt. Everyone will get a jar to take home to use in a bath or somewhere special to them. It will also include a relaxing 60-minute restorative practice where gentle sounds will be played on crystal bowls, rattles, tuning forks, drums, and a gong.  

The "Nurture Your Creative Fire" workshop series is designed as a sanctuary for women, offering a space for shared experiences and mutual support. This series aims to alleviate feelings of isolation and stress through innovative practices that enhance well-being. Participants engage in somatic movement, sound baths with vocalization, guided meditation, and creative activities, fostering relaxation and introspection.

Our first session in 2025 will start by honoring and celebrating 2024 and all the lessons learned. Then we will move into setting meaningful intentions for the New Year.

Writing Prompts and Journaling
Writing prompts and journaling serve as powerful tools for exploring thoughts and emotions, allowing for therapeutic introspection and self-expression. This practice encourages creativity and helps break free from routine or negative thought patterns, promoting a sense of playful energy and renewal.

Guided Meditation
Guided meditation offers a holistic approach to mental and emotional health. It cultivates mindfulness and provides strategies for managing life's challenges, fostering a deeper understanding of one's emotional landscape.

Somatic Movement
Somatic movement emphasizes internal physical perception, helping women become more attuned to their bodies. This practice leads to reduced stress and increased relaxation, empowering participants to connect with their needs and emotions.

Sound Baths and Vocalization
Sound baths, combined with vocalization, offer a deeply relaxing experience. The soothing sounds and vocal expression aid in emotional release and healing, enhancing mindfulness and relaxation.

Community and Support
The workshop creates a safe environment for sharing, ensuring every participant feels heard and valued. This nurturing atmosphere fosters community and mutual support, empowering individuals and enhancing collective joy.

The "Nurture Your Creative Fire" workshop series is a transformative experience, celebrating the strength and creativity of women while promoting well-being and supportive relationships.

This workshop opens with a fire ritual followed by a gentle dynamic movement section to prepare the body for a relaxing 75-min sound ceremony. Gentle sounds will be played on crystal bowls, rattles, tuning forks, drums, and a gong.
