Living with the Seasons
These workshops invite early childhood teachers and caregivers to attune with the soul of the season, bringing music, movement, story, and reflection into the classroom.
Through gestures, songs, poems, and rhythm, participants explore ways to support children’s whole development—physically, emotionally, and imaginatively—while nourishing their own inner life.
Each session provides practical, ready-to-use material, seasonal literacy, and reflection prompts, helping teachers create joyful, mindful, and developmentally supportive learning environments.
