In a time of overexposure to smart phones and iPads, encouraging our children to tap into their imagination has become more important than ever. Because play isn’t just about entertainment - it’s critically important in the development of children’s brains. Please bring the kids to the next Family Support Circle with Tauz TamuPovi. We'll turn off our phones and encourage the kids to tap into their creativity. Beads, finger paints, and Playdoh/clay will be provided. Thursday, July 17th from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm @ Breath of My Heart in Española.

Here are some key benefits of play:
- Encourages emotional resilience and adaptability
- Strengthens neural development and brain wiring
- Enhances executive function and self-regulation
- Stimulates creativity and cognitive flexibility
- Supports language and communication skills
- Builds social intelligence and empathy
- Lays the foundation for healthy identity formation

We serve our community best when we give ourselves permission to take some time for self care, restoration, reflection, and reconnection. Breath of My Heart was closed this past week as staff attended a wellness retreat. It was a wonderful opportunity to be enveloped by wisdom-infused ancient waters while recommitting to our purpose & vision — and all on cusp of Summer Solstice - the day when the power of the Sun's energy reaches its peak. We hope everyone takes some time to harness the Sun's energy and invest its power into our families and communities. 💛☀️✨ On Monday, our clinic will re-open during regular business hours.
