Join Mamata Kate for an interactive class to free the mind and focus on the present! The hour will be dedicated to an interactive art project for kiddos and their caregivers. The class will begin with a short breathing exercise to quiet the mind along with a guided meditation to start imagining our masterpieces. While children are creating their masterpieces of the mind, Kate will lead a short discussion about what thought distractions can look like, where they can be felt in our bodies, and the aspects of the “safe.” The idea of the “safe” is to allow children a safe and private space to be authentically themselves, releasing any grievances or inconveniences they experience throughout the day, and expressing their emotions without worry. This concept allows the child’s mind freedom and the ability to focus on the present and not carry these distractions throughout the day.

This class is designed for school aged children under 10. Please note age of child/children at sign up. All supplies are provided and a handout for parents and guardians with tips to set up and lead “safe time” is included. Parents are encouraged to attend but it’s not required. Gathering is limited to 8 children.
