The foundation of this work is built upon safe space and nurturing self-care. As Parents, Teachers, and/or Facilitators it's important we tend to our own garden first.
In Module 1, we'll lay the ground work as we Tune In and Clarify our Intentions, explore a calming visualization, breath awareness and writing exercise, design a unique Creative Self-Care Plan and experiment with a Morning Musings practice.
Your mindful, creative inquiries will continue to evolve throughout the training as we explore Mindful Art practices (which will later inform what you share).
