Join us, and bring your friend families! We hold a sparkling gem of an experience. We meet every Sunday, and you are welcome to come, check it out, and register.
APRIL is a month of BRAIN STORMS!
- We'll study CLIMATE and use it's metaphoric insights for our own private climates, learning about the world of excitable FEELINGS.
- We'll learn and play with choices of self-expression, creative storm processes, and coping strategies for "the big feelings."
- We’ll use our expressive and creative forces to tackle the challenging extremes of weather within and without!
APRIL will be a month of Action and Art. Children will be supported in their family's activist processes.
