Think you can’t juggle? We beg to differ. Using simple plastic bags or maybe scarves, we’ll teach you juggling basics in less than an hour.
Here's a 5-min taster of Kevin's session with kids. These movements sharpen the reflexes, increase focus, and improve coordination.
Learn from expert circus yogi Kevin O'Keefe of Circus Minimus. Circus arts are inherently family-friendly, so do this session from home office(s) and invite the kids.
Mindfulness in Stressful Times
Mindfulness in Stressful Times
Juggling Challenges (& bags)
Mindfulness is "nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment."
Harder than it sounds, and worthy of a lifetime (or at least a few minutes a day) of practice.
This session is designed as an introductory experience and usually led by board member (and TM practitioner) Daniel Medina (in English or Spanish).
We go over brain science of mindfulness and reflect on the health benefits as well as barriers.
Most of this session is spent practicing several methods of mindfulness (for example, mantra) or 5-4-3-2-1 (sensory awareness that breaks an anxiety spiral).
Qi Gong: Meditative Movements
Mindfulness in Stressful Times
Qi Gong: Meditative Movements
Qi Gong is a gentle, ancient, Chinese healing practice that cultivates our vital life energy (qi, or chi) and fosters balance in our bodies and minds.
In this beginner practice, Joann and Pat of QiCircles teach a mindful flow of simple and profoundly effective movements.
This session is accessible to all ages (Joann is an octogenarian!) and physical ability levels.
When a team does anything new together, the experience builds camaraderie as well as skill.
Mindful Art: Upcycling
Mindfulness in Stressful Times
Qi Gong: Meditative Movements
Our Mindful Art sessions focus on paper "upcycling" (making new stuff from otherwise discarded magazines, calendars, maps, etc) to make cards, envelopes, and other human connection tools.
This session is an interactive, online crafting session.
These activities engage the right hemisphere of our brain, and help us stay present.
Most importantly: cards, letters, and notes bring humans closer (at least emotionally).
