Art & Meditation for Kids

In this workshop we will learn expressive painting techniques, explore the universe of color, shape and imagination. There will be an introduction to mindfulness techniques. Mindfulness is about being fully aware of whatever is happening in the present moment, without filters or the lens of judgment. We will have fun while exercising how to remain present. This will allow children to be more aware of their emotions and find effective ways to calm their nervous systems.
