Art of Awareness: Emotional Regulation Group for Kids (4-6 yrs)

Art of Awareness is an engaging and interactive program designed to help neurodiverse and neurotypical children understand and manage their emotions in a fun and creative way. Through a combination of mindfulness, breathing techniques, movement, and art, this program equips kids with the tools they need to navigate their feelings and develop self-regulation skills. In a safe and supportive environment, children will learn to: * Identify and Understand Emotions: Explore different feelings and how they show up in the body. * Practice Mindfulness & Breathing Techniques: Use calming breath work and mindful practices to help stay grounded in the moment. * Express Emotions Creatively: Use art, movement, and other creative activities to express and release emotions in a healthy, constructive way. * Develop Self-Regulation Tools: Learn strategies to manage big feelings, reduce stress, and build emotional resilience. This group is co-facilitated by Brooke Myers, a Registered Behaviour Analyst, and Keelin O'Hara, who has extensive training in mindfulness, art, and dance.
