End of Summer Reset - Adult & Child Retreat

There are many reasons why a child might feel anxious about starting the new school year (separation anxiety, fear of attending a new school, going to a new class or teacher and much more. In this end of summer workshop we will deliver a range of therapeutic activities to support your child to understand, express and cope with emotions. A beautifully curated event for you to share special time together and engage in our carefully crafted activities.

• Hypno4Children session – introducing children and adults to their brilliant brain through the brain house and helping children to recognise the range of emotions within us. Workshop on identifying our emotions as characters within our brain house and creating these characters as cards which can be used at home to help children and adults communicate about which characters are showing up and learning tools they may be able to use to help in emotional regulation.
  
• A mindful nature walk, to move the body and exercise all the senses, collecting natural materials along the way to use as inspiration for art work.
  
• A Pottery workshop creating a ceramic dish for children to house their emotional character cards. Usng traditional handbuilding techniques and a range of pottery tools and textures to create a unique masterpiece. A choice of glazes will be available, which will be applied to the dish before kiln firing.
