New Classes and Offerings - January 2022
Our offerings support academic, social-emotional, and mind-body development that foster a child’s inner wisdom and deep knowing of themselves and the world around them. We draw from pedagogy and practices that value the natural world, beginner’s mind, play, curiosity, and wonder as ingredients that guide the way and encourage meaningful learning and discovery.

Meditation and Yoga
Sensing the Present Moment
Join us for a fun, nurturing class that invites children to use their senses and the natural world to experience inner stillness and silence. Children will learn meditation practices that allow the mind to settle, bring a sense of ease to the body, and nurture self awareness. The children will be supported to develop a practice at their own pace and will learn skills that they can carry into their daily life.
STARTING SOON!
Ages 7-11 6 Mondays 3:00 - 3:45 EST beginning February 14 $120 via Zoom
Ages 12-15 6 Wednesdays 1:00 - 1:45 EST beginning February 16 $120 via Zoom
Meditation and Storytelling
In this class we will learn a number of practices that invite us to the present moment. Through the art of storytelling, we will explore the wisdom of Jataka tales, fables, and contemporary stories. The lessons and positive qualities that we discover within the characters will be woven into guided meditations that help us experience these qualities within ourselves.
