✨️ A beautiful end to our term ✨️

This week in our 4 Creative Mindfulness classes, we explored the magic of kind self-talk through the story ~ The Reflection in Me 🪞🥰

Together, we chatted about the importance of speaking kindly to ourselves 💛 We practised looking into a mirror and imagining the loving, encouraging words our reflection might say back to us 🪞🥰

The children then created their own decorative mirrors using reflective card, heart stickers, and powerful little affirmation stickers like:

✨️ You've got this
✨️ Believe in yourself
✨️ You are enough
✨️ Be kind to your mind
✨️ Love, love, love yourself

It was such a touching moment watching each child look at themselves, smile, and notice their sparkling eyes and wonderful smile. These small but powerful moments of self-awareness and self-compassion are what mindfulness is about 🥰

We ended each class with our much loved dice game 🎲 adding a new little twist of sharing something kind about ourselves when it landed on our colour. There was so much laughter and joy in the room ❤️

It has been incredible to witness how much the children have grown in their mindfulness, confidence, and self-compassion over these last 6 - 8 weeks. It was such a special way to end the term ✨️

Wishing everyone a lovely, peaceful Easter break 🐣❤️✨️🪞🥰

🌱 Thursday's Creative Mindfulness class theme was Growing Gratitude 🌱💛 based on Creative Mindfulness Kids Training

We began with a beautiful sharing game - passing around a big heart-shaped cushion, giving it a hug, and finishing the sentence "I'm grateful for..." ❤️ It was so special to hear the children express gratitude for both the big and little things in their lives. Their thoughtful, heartfelt responses truly filled the room ✨️

We spoke about how showing gratitude can shine a light on the other wonderful things in our lives - the more we notice, the more we find to be grateful for 🥰

We then got creative, making our own Growing Gratitude Trees 🌳 with each leaf representing something we are thankful for. Watching their trees bloom with kindness, love, and appreciation was simply magical 🍃🍂🍃🍂

To finish, I shared how deeply grateful I am for each and every one of them. They bring so much joy into our time together ✨️

❤️

🌪 Last week in our new Thursday Creative Mindfulness Class, we explored something we all experience ... WORRY! 😵‍💫

We talked about how worry can feel in our bodies, the different things we might worry about, and how sometimes worry can hold us back from trying new things. Together, we discovered that not all worries are the same ~ some can actually be helpful ( like reminding us to wear a helmet when cycling 🚲 ) while others can become "spinning worries" 😵‍💫 that grow and stop us from doing the things we enjoy.

To help with those spinning worries, we practised some breathing techniques 🌬 and created our own beautiful spinning disc using some card and string. Watching the colourful patterns whirl and spin gave us a chance to slow down, focus, and feel more present 🌈✨️

We also read Ruby's Worry 📖 which shared an important reminder that one of the best things we can do when we feel worried is to talk about it with someone we trust 💛

It was a really fun and creative class 🌪😵‍💫🌬🌈✨️ based on the creative mindfulness method by Louise Shanagher at Creative Mindfulness Kids Training

Last week, I also had the honour of being invited by CRY Ireland to work alongside an incredible team to support a family navigating the loss of a child and sibling 💙

I facilitated a Creative Mindfulness session, gently creating a calm and welcoming environment where feelings could be expressed in their own time and way. Through soft listening practice with musical instruments 🎶 and creative art 🎨 we explored ways to sit with emotions and allow them to be seen and felt ✨️

It was deeply moving to witness people coming together with such compassion, offering presence, understanding, and a place of rest 🫶

It was such a reminder that even in the heaviest moments, there can be space for tenderness, connection, and creativity ❤️

✨️ I Am Courage ✨️

Last week in our Creative Mindfulness Classes, we explored the beautiful theme of courage, inspired by I Am Courage by Susan Verde 💛

We talked about what courage really means - not just the big, brave moments, but the small, everyday steps that help us grow stronger. The moments when our mind says "I can't " and we gently remind ourselves, "Yes, I can." 🙌

Through creativity, the children brought this idea to life, building their own courage art piece by piece. Using colourful tissue paper, they created stunning canvas art, each layer a reminder that courage grows over time, one small brave step at a time 🌈

So proud of each and every one of these incredible children and the courage they are already carrying within them ❤️

No better way to end the class than with a joyful group declaration of ~ ✨️ "I AM COURAGE!"✨️

Last week, in our Creative Mindfulness Classes, we explored the beautiful theme "I Am Human" inspired by the wonderful book I Am Human: A Book of Empathy by Susan Verde ❤️

After reading the story together, we talked about what it means to be human. We shared how every one of us is learning and growing every day. Sometimes we make mistakes. Sometimes we get hurt or hurt others. But we can say sorry, we can learn, and we can choose compassion ❤️

Each child held a little red crystal heart in the palm of their hand. They looked closely and noticed the light, the reflections, and the way it sparkled ✨️ Then they gently closed their hands. Even though they could no longer see the heart, they knew it was still there ❤️

Just like our real hearts ❤️ We can't see each other's hearts, but we know they are there ❤️

And because of that, we can choose kindness.
We can treat ourselves and others with care.
We can remember that every person we meet has feelings, hopes, and a heart that deserves kindness ❤️

We then decorated large jigsaw pieces 🧩 each decorated in our own unique designs. Celebrating how unique we all are, while also reminding us that although we are all different, we are also all connected ❤️

A little reminder from our class:

✨️ We are human
✨️ We are learning
✨️ We are growing
✨️ We can make mistakes and say sorry
✨️ We can choose compassion

A small heart in our hands ... but a big reminder in our hearts ❤️

My heart was so full after each of the classes ❤️
When we remember that everyone has a heart, the world becomes a kinder place 🌎🧩✨️❤️

This week in our New Thursday Creative Mindfulness Class, we explored the wonderful book ~ The Colour Monster 💛💙❤️💚🩶🩷

We talked about those moments when we feel all mixed up and confused with our emotions and how important it is to notice, name, and gently untangle what's going on inside 😵‍💫

The story reminds us that when we bring awareness to our feelings, we can also invite in more calm, clarity, and kindness into our lives 🩷

The children created their own cardboard "feelings jars" just like in the book to give each emotion its own space and colour 💛💙❤️💚🩶🩷

It was a wonderful creative session full of curiosity, sharing, and learning 😊

I love that the children were so proud of their beautiful artwork ✨️🙌

🎈This week in our Creative Mindfulness Classes, we explored the beautiful book ~ When Things Aren't Going Right, Go Left! ↩️

We followed the journey of a little boy in the story as he set his worries, fears, and frustrations down 💼 📦🧳Only later to discover something powerful, when he was ready to pick them back up, they were smaller, quieter, and much more manageable 🙌 He learned that it was okay to have them with him, so long as he kept an eye on them and that if they became too loud or overwhelming, he could set them down again 💼📦🧳

The children then had fun creating a hot air balloon using a paper plate, cup, and straws🎈We talked about how the hot air balloon rises higher when it lets go of its sandbags. We imagined our worries, fears, and frustrations as sandbags weighing us down🎈 and then we practised 'letting go' so we could rise higher 🙌

We finished with a breathing practice, moving our balloons up and down as we noticed our breathing 🌬

🎈Breathing in ... rising up 🎈
🎈Breathing out ... gently floating down 🎈

It was such a simple, playful way to help children discover that feelings come and go and that we don't have to carry them with us or be weighed down by them 💼📦🧳 We can choose to let them go 🎈🙌

✨️ I received an exciting new delivery of doTERRA essential oils along with the sweetest little mini diffuser this week 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Our sense of smell is directly connected to the parts of the brain that support memory, emotion, and calm 🧠

When the children walk into class and notice the gentle aroma in the room, it helps them pause… breathe… and signals a time to reflect, create, and simply be 🤗

Smell is one of the fastest ways to anchor us in mindfulness. A single breath can ~

🌿 Help regulate big feelings
🌿 Support focus and concentration
🌿 Create a sense of safety and comfort

I love how the children notice when I use a new scent and how parents want to stay in the room it smells so nice 💜

Does your mind ever feel like it's so busy jumping from thought to thought, just like a monkey swinging from tree to tree 🌳🐒🌳

Last week marked the start of our new 6 week Creative Mindfulness Term 🤗

I introduced the children to the idea of the "busy monkey mind " 🧠🐒

The children loved bringing this idea to life by making their own little monkeys, attaching them with string to two paper straw trees, and sliding them from one side to the other 🌳🐒🌳 A simple craft but such a powerful visual reminder to take home 🤗

We talked about how our monkey mind isn't "bad" and that we're not trying to stop our mind from thinking 💭🤔 but when we need it to be still and calm we can gently give it a job to do like ~ noticing our breathing 🌬 or listening to sounds around us 🎶 all helping us to be in the here and now 🤗

It was a fun class and really special to introduce mindfulness to so many new children. I look forward to seeing how their practice grows over the next few weeks ❤️

I didn't manage to take even one photo during the class 🙈 we were having that much fun 😄

❤️ With Valentine's Day this week, in our Creative Mindfulness Classes, we spoke about showing kindness ❤️

During our discussion, we began talking about times when it could feel hard to be kind. One by one, several children bravely shared moments when others had not been kind to them and how upsetting that felt 🥺

What followed was a truly tender and beautiful conversation. The other children responded with empathy, care, and understanding. It was powerful to see them listen to one another and offer comfort so naturally ❤️

We also talked about how, when people are unkind, it often has very little to do with us and much more to do with what they may be going through. Together, we practised sending kind wishes ~ firstly to ourselves 🫶 then to our families 🫂 our community ❤️ our country 🇮🇪 and finally to the whole world 🌎 It was magical ✨️

During the class, the children created a heart bouquet as a symbol of spreading kindness to others 💐 At the end of our time together, we used bubbles 🫧 as a joyful and playful way to send kind wishes out into the world 🌬🫧🌎❤️ Each bubble representing small acts of kindness that together can make a big difference ❤️💚💙🩷💜💛🩵🩶

It was a very special week and one I will remember for a long time 🥰 Kindness truly is a superpower ~ It makes us strong 🙌
