Mindlings
Bump, Baby, Toddler and Pre-school age, (0-5) stay and play

In these sessions little ones can learn to name senses and emotions, which are essential building blocks for developing emotional intelligence and regulation. Children will learn through movement, sound, art and play. Including making their own emotion theme toys.
Parents can learn Developmental Psychology, children’s brain development and mindfulness techniques to implement at home, whilst forming new friendships in your local community.
I can also provide mindfulness based stress reduction techniques to help you remain cool and collected, when needed.
Children will not be made to introduce themselves or speak if they do not want to.
You will be given a folder to keep your children’s work and handouts safe.
MindCrew
Home Education MindCrew- 0-15 years

After School MindCrew- ages 5-11
Thursday Afternoon 4-5pm (fortnightly)
In these sessions children will learn age appropriate psychological concepts, including cognitive and social psychology, as well as, neuropsychology. Children will also learn mindfulness and meditation techniques, including movement and breathwork, as well as, short meditations and mindful walks around the private forest setting, incorporating games or activities.
All children will be given a workbook folder to take home, this is optional. No child will be made to do anything they do not want to, if they would prefer to use the time and space as a stay and play, that is up to them. I advocate autonomy at all times.
There is a private space which you can accompany your child to, should they become overwhelmed.
Children will not be made to introduce themselves or speak if they do not want too. My sessions are dynamic and fun, incorporating different learning modalities, art, play and open discussions.
Parents can be provided with developmental psychology information upon request. I can also provide mindfulness based stress reduction techniques to help you remain cool and collected, when needed.
MindCore
Secondary School MindCore Crew (11-15)
Thursday Evening 5pm-6pm (fortnightly)
Adult’s 16+ Please see MindMove Tab
In these sessions young people will learn psychological concepts, including cognitive and social psychology, as well as, neuropsychology.
Teaching young people between childhood, adolescence and adulthood about how their minds work is incredibly empowering. Although they may find the concept ‘dull’ I ensure my sessions are interesting and dynamic, drawing creative concepts together to spark philosophical thinking.
They will learn tools and techniques, including movement and breathwork. They will learn skills for life by practicing mindfulness and guided meditations. There will also be group discussions, which will be optional to participate in. No young person will be made to speak if they do not want to. They are welcome to practice self meditation as the sessions progress.
All young people will be given a workbook folder to take home, if they would like one.
Parents can be provided with developmental psychology information upon request. I can also provide mindfulness based stress reduction techniques to help you remain cool and collected, when needed.
