A Taste of Learning

A Taste of Learning At A Taste of Learning we offer a child-centred approach to provide opportunities for individuals to learn through experience.

Winter carries a quiet medicine. It invites us into rest that is felt rather than forced—through stillness, sleep, and listening to the body’s subtle cues. When we slow and soften, regulation and restoration begin to unfold in their own time, guided by an inner intelligence that knows how to heal and integrate.

In this slowing, many of us touch a vast inner space—a fertile, womb-like ground where insight, healing, and creation gather before taking form. It doesn’t ask for effort, only presence. We meet it in simple moments: lying on the floor and letting the body sink, breathing deeply without trying, listening to the waves, hugging a tree, or tending to the quiet language of dreams.

As we move toward 2026, may we honour this rhythm. May we choose slowness where it’s needed, connection where it’s healing, and trust in what is quietly being reborn within us. From this place, remembrance, belonging, and new life naturally emerge.

Today was the last day of our program before winter break and the last turkey was given away. With that being said I wanted to give a huge heartfelt thank you to Linnia Etkmannski and her team at Livewire Catering. Your donations help those who need it most this time of year and I know a lot of families are going to have a beautiful turkey dinner because of you.

Thank you so much ❤️

As winter approaches we feel ourselves setteling into rest, gatherings and family traditions.

May the art we make spread love with those closest to us as we reflect on the year that has passed and celebrate what is yet to come.

This week in the Learning Centre, we reflected on the meaning of peace through activities that encouraged calm, compassion, and connection.

Together, we explored what it means to find peace within ourselves, in our shared spaces, and in our wider community.
As we pause to remember and honour those who have devoted their lives to peace, we extend harmonious gratitude to all who walk this world with kindness and intention. May our actions continue to move us toward understanding, unity, and lasting peace.
