About the event
Join us for a transformative Earth Day workshop at Kids’ Food Basket, where we'll breathe life into our connection with the Earth. Dive deep into a sensory journey, exploring the power of breath and movement to unite our body's energetic expression and forge a deeper bond with our planet.
Slowing down and immersing ourselves in nature reminds us that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. In nature, we find a space to breathe, to reflect, and to reconnect with our true selves. This connection to the natural world is not just beneficial for our mental and emotional well-being; it also inspires us to live more sustainably and mindfully, in sync with the environment.
What to Expect:
- Simple breathing techniques for balance and harmony
- Mindful movement to self-soothe and express
- Expanded sensory awareness
- Grounding in nature
- Visualization and the power of symbols
- Community connection
