✨️ New Term! New Classes! ✨️

I'm so excited for our next 6 week term of Creative Mindfulness Classes for children aged 4-12 years! Based on the Creative Mindfulness Kids Training ❤️

This term, we will explore mindfulness through arts & crafts, storytelling, meditation, and games, all designed to help children develop tools to calm their busy minds, build confidence, and find peace when they feel anxious 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

✨️ Important updates:

🧩 Our Wednesday class is now an Autism Friendly class 🌈
⭐️A brand new Thursday 5:45pm class has been added 🙌

⚠️ Please note: Our Monday & Thursday 4:30pm classes are already FULL!

I truly believe, and I've seen it in my own children, that giving children these tools early is one of the greatest gifts we can offer them ✨️🎁

Mindfulness helps children pause before reacting, breathe through big emotions, and find peace within themselves. It teaches resilience, empathy, and self-compassion, all qualities that can help shape confidence and happiness ❤️

A wonderful term of creativity, calm, and connection awaits 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️🎨🎲❤️🧩🌈⭐️🙌😊🎁

🍁 This morning, as I went into my daughters bedroom to make sure she was getting ready and not still playing with her barbies, I found her lying down on her beanbag, not getting ready 😏

I explained that we would be late and she needed to start getting dressed. Her reply was, "Mum just five minutes." 🤚

It was then that I noticed she had the leaf from this week's gratitude meditation on her tummy, and she was doing a breathing practice 🍁🌬😊

A proud mum moment for sure 🥰 Children truly are the best teachers ❤️ I am so grateful to see her develop her own mindful practice 🧘‍♀️🍁🌬❤️

❤️🎲 The Gratitude Game 🎲❤️

We used this big soft dice covered in little hearts instead of dots for this simple yet really special game 🙌🎲❤️

Each child took turns rolling the dice 🎲 and whatever number of hearts it landed on, they would then share that many things they were grateful for ❤️

I loved how beautifully specific their answers were :

🐾 "My pet because she always cuddles with me."
😝 "My little cousin because he's so funny."
💞 "My grandparents' health."

When they rolled a high number, their faces lit up 🤩 excited to share more gratitude ❤️

By the end of the game, my heart was overflowing with gratitude for each and every one of the amazing children I have in my classes 🥰

The simplest games can create the most meaningful moments ✨️🙌🎲❤️😊

✨️🍂 Gratitude & Growth 🍂✨️

Our final week of our Creative Mindfulness Term is here, and it's all about gratitude ❤️

Over the past 7 weeks, it has been amazing to watch the children as they grow in awareness, kindness, and connection ✨️

On Monday, we made gratitude trees 🌳 filling our branches with all the wonderful things we're thankful for 🍂 from family and friends to pets, school, cousins, and mindfulness 🍂

To celebrate, we had little Halloween cups filled with popcorn, topped with jellies, marshmallows, chocolate chips, and smarties! 🍿😋

As we sprinkled on the toppings, we talked about filling up our gratitude cups by naming people, moments, and places that fill our hearts ❤️

There is so much to be grateful for, especially these amazing children!

My cup is certainly full! ❤️

💙 Today, I had the privilege of attending the Family Support Programme Training Day for 💙

Days like this truly stay with you and remind you of all the good in the world 💙

I'm so grateful to have been in the company of the most incredible men and women who support the CRY family as they navigate grief and bereavement 💙

Thank you so much, Elaine and team! 💙
Your vision, compassion, and commitment are amazing! 🙌

It was also lovely to see the CRY Heart Art Piece (2nd photo) the children had made together at the last Family Day on display 💙

🚗✨️Who's in the Driver's Seat?✨️🚗

In our classes this week, we'll explore how mindfulness gives us the space between stimulus and response so we can drive with clarity, compassion, and choice 🚗

We'll discuss how our emotions are all welcome along for the ride, but they don't get to sit in the driver's seat or grab the steering wheel 🚗

We'll be making fun 'remote controls' 🎮 equipped with controller codes to help us breathe 🌬 and reset to calm mode when needed 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

It's a fun way to remember that:

🚗 We can notice who's in the car and even say hello 👋
🌬 We always have the power to pause, breathe, and steer in the direction we want to go 🚗
🚦 We can choose to respond rather than reacting

I'm looking forward to our fun mini car races, too 🚗🏁🙌😊

✨️ Magical Mindful Morning with CRY Ireland ✨️

This morning, I had the best time facilitating a creative mindfulness session for the most amazing group of children 😊

We made glitter jars 🫙✨️ with LOTS of glitter! to help calm our busy minds 🧠 and created beautiful Breathing Butterfly Frames that fluttered gently as we practised mindful breathing together 🌬🦋

The children were amazing! So creative, kind, and full of fun. We explored how to connect with our breath, calm our minds, and be gentle with ourselves when we're feeling overwhelmed 💙

We read "It's Ok" by the wonderful while placing our hands on our hearts and saying together ~ "It's Ok. I love you. I'm with you today." ❤️

It was a morning full of laughter, creativity, and heartfelt moments. I'm so grateful to Elaine from and to each of the children for such a wonderful morning together ✨️💙✨️💙

✨️ After being on holiday for the last two weeks and away for 10 of those days, I received the most thoughtful surprise from my Dad today ~ a beautiful delivery of arts and crafts supplies 🎨❤️

He clearly missed me 🥹 He said he thought they might be useful for my classes... and he was right 😊 So grateful for his support and kindness ❤️

I'm so excited to share them with everyone at our two week long Creative Mindfulness Summer Camps starting the 7th & 11th of July 🙌😎🎨✨️

✨️ Limited places available! ✨️

Don't miss out on all the fun while also learning the amazing skill of mindfulness ❤️

❤️ This week, we have our final classes of our 7 week term ✨️

In both classes today, we talked about listening to our hearts ~ really tuning in to how we feel inside ❤️

We discovered that our hearts are big enough for ALL our feelings: the happy ones, the wobbly ones, the big and loud ones, and the quiet ones too. They ALL belong 🥰

We developed our listening skills with a fun 'Spot the Sound' game 🤗 and practised being kind to ourselves with our hands on our hearts during our short meditation 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️

The heart string art was a little more tricky than I thought, but I loved it when I asked if this was too challenging and how the children said, "No! We love a challenge." 🙌 They turned out so well ✨️

We have loved our new venue at the Parish Hall 😊 and I've especially loved getting to know all the new children who were able to join us this term ❤️

I'm going to miss these wonderful smiles over the next few weeks 🥹 But I'm looking forward to our Creative Mindfulness Summer Camp in July 😎🙌❤️
