Inamojo is a new wellbeing program for children of primary school age. Designed to address all aspects of a child's healthy developmental growth (physical, cognitive, emotional and social), the interactive program is composed of stories, movement, art, meditation, and specially composed music. Created by the team behind the world-renowned Chakradance™ for adults, Inamojo is based on the eastern integrative 'map' of the chakra system, together with Jungian psychology and a variety of contemporary Early Childhood Development theories. As part of the program, children will engage in mindful practices such as meditation, breath awareness, expressive movement and art and develop their trusting instincts, emotional expression, self-esteem, communication, intuition and imagination, and self-awareness. Each week will follow the same format (story > dance > art > discussion) and covers a different theme and learning experience:
Benefits of being read a Story
• Develops Communication skills
• Develops listening skills - attention spans increase
• Develops language and literacy skills
• More confident self-expression, both verbally and in writing
• Exploring emotions by connecting with characters
Benefits of Dance

• Embraces and nurtures self-expression and creativity
Benefits of Mandala Art

• Hand - eye co-ordination
• Fine motor control (also assists with writing)

Inamojo follows the same format each week (story > dance > art > discussion), and each class covers a different theme and learning experience. By using the same format, children become familiar with the class structure and can move further into their own experiences. The structure of our 9-week Inamojo programs:
• Introductory Class: Introducing the characters and storyline.
• Red class: Learning to trust instincts.
• Orange class: Learning to cope with, and express, emotions.
• Yellow class: Explores self-esteem, confidence, courage.
• Green class: Addresses jealousy, compassion, love.
• Blue class: Effective communication, assertiveness.
• Indigo class: Imagination, dreams, and goals.
• Violet class: Self-awareness, thinking, meta-cognition.
• Integration class: Revisits key elements of the program. We aim to assist the children to integrate their Inamojo experience into daily
