Thank you to all who were able to join us for Mindfulness and Meditation: Let’s Get Zen last Wednesday March 23, 2022! It was so great to gather with fellow zen-lovers in our community to enjoy some gentle seated stretching, a calming book reading, and a relaxing guided meditation. Participants also shared what helps them and the children in programs feel good and some of the key ideas from this were: gratitude practice, noticing surroundings and sensations, breathing exercises, self-care box, and self-care spaces.
Here are some of the resources that were shared/discussed by the group:
- Book- Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn
- Book- A World of Mindfulness from the editors and illustrators of Pajama Press
- Guided Meditation: New Horizon Mighty Oak Tree Guided Meditation for Children https://youtu.be/TVHzo4ATV9U
- New Horizon Holistic App
- Mental Health and Well-Being Educator Resources on the Child Care and Early Years Portal Educator Resources – TBDSSAB Child Care and Early Years Portal
Thanks again to all who were able to make it! We hope you found it as relaxing as we did. Check the portal calendar for more upcoming special events!
Namaste,
Alex, Jodi, & Megan
