Cultivating compassionate awareness in early childhood through music, movement, and mindfulness.

Who is this class for?

This class is for children ages 0-3yrs and their grown-ups. You do not have to bring your kiddo with you—you are welcome to simply attend as a grown-up who wants to learn more songs and playful practices rooted in mindfulness!

What will we do?

We’ll sing songs, move our bodies in playful and creative ways, tell stories, and practice noticing our bodies, each other, and the room around us.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is compassionate awareness of self, other beings, and the earth. It encourages loving presence, slowing down, and orienting ourselves to any given moment, relationship, or space. Mindfulness is woven throughout Montessori’s philosophy and framework, and I’ve found that children are actually quite natural and good at being present with what is. They have much to teach us.

What does it cost?

This class is offered in the gift economy, so donations are accepted, but not expected. If you would like to contribute, the suggested donation is $10/family + nonperishable food item or unopened household supply. Donated food and supply items will go to vulnerable/at-risk individuals and families in N. Portland through Worth Fighting For North Portland.

Can I invite a friend?

Yes! Though space is limited, so please ask them to RSVP here as well.
