This event will provide students with a day of outdoor fun and creativity based on the tenets of mindfulness. Students will be introduced to short meditations and will be guided to use mindfulness techniques in their art practices throughout the day.
Students will embark on a Sense and Savor Walk where they will be encouraged to experience nature with a heightened sensory awareness. After gathering artifacts, the students will use these objects as inspiration for their art activities. Materials will be provided, though students may bring any supplies or tools they would like to use throughout the day.
Kate and Aviva will include a number of icebreakers and other non-threatening activities to help students interact and connect with each other. Having worked in middle school student services, they use their expertise to make the day a productive, engaging experience.
