Thanks to Creative Mindfulness Trainer and Advisor Olive for her absolutely fantastic work sharing mindfulness and compassion practices with all ages

In this activity Olive is supporting children to "anchor" their attention by noticing what they are experiencing through their five senses.

The body, the senses and the breath are always anchored in the now!

When we support children to notice what they can see, hear, smell, touch and taste we are supporting them to connect to the present moment.

Thank you Olive for all the care, kindness and consideration you put into your work sharing these beautiful practices with others ❤️

Hi everyone,

I hope that you are all well. I am excited to invite you to our upcoming Practice Day Retreat: "The Gift of Meditation Practice, for Ourselves, Our Children, and Our World," taking place on Saturday, the 13th of July, from 11am to 3pm.

During this retreat, we will delve into the gifts that our mindfulness and self'compassion practice brings to our own lives, the lives of our children, and the wider world. In particular, we will explore how to share mindfulness practices with authenticity, integrity, and confidence. 

This retreat is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your practice, connect with like-minded community and enhance your ability to share mindfulness with others.

If you can't attend live you can watch the retreat as a recording and it will be available for one month.

Important: In order to stay on our register of accredited practitioners. All Creative Mindfulness Practitioners need to attend at least one retreat day per year.

You can book your place on www.creative-mindfulness.com

We look forward to sharing this special day with you and exploring the many benefits of mindfulness together.

Best wishes,

Louise

Thanks to Creative Mindfulness Practitioner Lee .mindfulkidsclub for this gorgeous "Chain Reaction of Positivity" activity!

In our "Creative Mindfulness Kids" classes we support children to notice and "take in" the good in themselves and in their lives

We can begin this by pausing with your child, taking a few deep breaths together and then inviting them to notice 3 things they feel thankful for today, perhaps a person, an object, and an experience or something they do!

Pause again, then invite your child to breathe in that feeling of gratitude into their hearts, their hearts like a sponge taking it all in :)

Intvite your child to say a little thank you to themselves and then give themselves a big hug!
