S&S strives to serve as many children as possible in our community and our events are open to anyone regardless of their ability to pay. The goal with our workshops, events and playshops is that we are able to foster a community among our children and families who are interested in self growth, self and co regulation, and healthy attachment. We will use our experience in somatic therapies, transpersonal psychology, and nature based wisdom traditions to bring you heart centered and soulful events for children and families. Our goal is to infuse children with skills early on to live a life of connection, joy, heart centered relationships and a reverence our earth. We look forward to seeing you at one of our events! If you cannot afford to attend one of our events, but feel that it would be helpful to you , please let our administrator know.  *We welcome ideas for events for children and families and are open to co-hosting an event with other professionals in the community, just drop us an email!

Family Flower Mandala Playshop

$45.00
Come join us for a flower mandala making playshop for parents and kids. In the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, mandalas have been used as a focus of meditation practice and are said to represent the spiritual journey of the viewer. The making of the mandala using organic materials brings us to our connection with the earth. All supplies for flower mandala making will be provided but if you would like to bring a flower from your garden, please do so! We will talk about what mandalas are used for, and share with other families about our mandala making experience. Please bring a camera or cell phone to take a picture of your mandala for you to print out/bring home with you to put in your home, on your desk or meditation altar. One mandala will be co-created per family.

$85.00

February 6, 2022 @ The Coalition in Chapel Hill

Max 15 participants- girls or gender non binary kids welcome

2-4:30pm

$85/kid

Description: As a trauma therapist for the last 20 years, I have spent most of my 20 year professional career teaching women how to say "NO" and set boundaries. What if we started teaching our young ones? I can only imagine their trajectory in life! We are partnering with The Coalition in Chapel Hill with Krav Maga teacher Jaimie Lee. Jaimie is a Krav Maga Black Belt and has been an instructor since 2012 and has four U.S. certifications. She was also certified at the Wingate Institute in Israel, the birthplace of Krav Maga. She has a background in dance and certification in Pilates/Barre. Jaimie offers a restorative approach to training and loves running workshops for kids. I (Kim) will start by doing some body scans with the kids to help them learn the language of sensations in the body and how to notice our innate protective ques. We will create a safe group dynamic in which for us to explore how NO manifests in our bodies and how to notice it in others. Jaimie will teach some self defense techniques to help our little ones embody NO. We will practice feeling NO, saying NO and seeing NO in others. Parents of any gender are welcome to participate and join in! Snack, waters and NO gift provided.
