Let’s brighten the learning journey together! This workshop will empower kids (7 and up) to cultivate mindfulness by creating DIY projectors using simple art supplies. Participants will explore additive colour theory and an art-based technique to enhance focus and promote mental wellness.

Inhale courage, exhale fear. Kids explore how the power of the breath can be used to cope with anxious moments.

Acknowledge the good emotions along with the bad. Kids cultivate acceptance by identifying what they can and cannot control, learning to be self-compassionate rather than judgmental.

Navigate negative emotions as you would surf on a wave in the ocean. Kids learn to be aware of automatic thinking patterns and begin to build coping mechanisms by learning to see a negative emotional state as temporary.

Quieten the storm before you become angry. Kids investigate triggers associated with strong emotions and learn how the fight, flight, or freeze response acts as the body’s built-in alarm system.

Feel the feels, knowing all feelings are valid. Kids learn emotions are neither good nor bad, simply a signal, building the connection between emotions, physical sensations, and thoughts.

Sense of Self - The journey begins with being curious. Kids commence their creative exploration with an introduction to mindfulness and start to build their vocabulary of different emotions.

Start a chain reaction, throw kindness around like confetti. Kids explore kindness as they learn to be flexible perspective-takers who can observe themselves outside the everyday experience, without judgment.

The 1.5-hour in-person workshop(s) aim to inspire participants aged 7 and above to craft an Agamograph while delving into the theme of empathy. Originated by Yaacov Agam, this visual art technique utilizes optical illusions to alter the image based on the viewer's vantage point.

Nourish your mental health through creative exploration and community. Learn art-based ways to be self-compassionate.
