About

This workshop is in four parts

Part 1 - Mindfulness introduction

We get in the mood and explore our auditory senses with some fun and relaxing games. We develop focus and attention with a ‘sound bath’ and other mindfulness techniques.

Part 2 - The power of character strengths

What are your child’s character strengths? We build confidence by encouraging them to learn what is best about themselves through photography and group engagement. Your child and their friends share and celebrate their unique personalities and friendships.

Part 3 - Kintsugi

Imagine if you had a favourite mug that accidentally broke. You might feel sad, right? But what if you could put it back together in a way that made it even more special?

‘Kintsugi’ is the Japanese art of ‘golden repair’. It teaches us that broken things (including relationships and feelings) aren't just to be thrown away. This activity is all about personal growth and resilience. We work with gold leaf and other arts and craft materials to make a unique Kintsugi item for children to take home.

Part 4 - Birthday walk

In Montessori environments birthdays are celebrated by honouring the child’s life through a “ Walk Around the Sun”. Celebrating the past, being in the present with friends and family , highlighting their personal  growth from birth to the present day.
