Meeting rich and diverse experiences of health and illness support the child’s journey of growth and development towards inner freedom in adulthood. While we need to consciously support their unfolding, at the same time we must tread lightly, so as to not interfere in the potential fruits that may naturally unfold for them through their experiences of health and illness. Our conscious activity of reverence serves them on this journey.
In addition to offerings on this workshop theme, each workshop will include a nourishing meal, the opportunity to both receive and learn how to offer therapeutic treatments at home and gain familiarity with some home remedies, space for individual reflection, experiential exercises and group conversation. Each workshop will deepen and build upon the pre-reading Supporting Inner Freedom in the Young Child through Health and Illness (a lesson in the EduCareDo Early Childhood Course). While the workshops are aimed at supporting parents and caregivers in the home, the workshop content and experience will also be relevant for those interested in deepening their relationship to their own experiences of health and illness as well as those caring for other adults. The workshop content will unfold and adapt to meet the questions and interests of the participants.
This day-long workshop is offered through Developing the Self Developing the World and is open to all. You can attend 1, 2 or all 3 workshops (other two workshops are Feb 23 (Working with Preventative Healthcare at Home) and March 23 (Supporting Nourishment - Body, Soul and Spirit).
All three workshops will take place at Sun Heart Farm in Stephentown, New York.
Childcare available on-site.
