Saturday's Workshop
will be for educators and “filling our own tanks.” It will focus upon skills, practices, relationships and opportunities to take care of ourselves. This day long workshop will be an experiential day of practice, play, reflection, and a day designed as a safe, compassionate space to experience the transformative power of mindfulness and Social Emotional Learning.
This experiential day of self care and reflection will provide opportunities to engage in practices to promote and cultivate emotional balance and well being. Through the mindful use of circles, movement, music, and reflection, we will practice SEL strategies, skills, and tools for ourselves, students, and schools.
