This sequence is a fun addition to your practice, combining elements of Tai Chi and Long Fist Kung Fu. Please note that this is a continuation of a previous seminar, so the focus will be on sections 5 and 6 and practicing the complete form. Please check out the review session with Chris before the seminar if you have not done or would like a refresher on sections 1-4.

Mindfulness for Kids and Parents with Sylwia Willcox

11:30am-12:45pm

Can you remember the last time you asked your child to pay attention? 

This 75-minute program, which is suitable for children aged 4-9 and their families, explores the power of paying attention. We address the question of how paying attention without judgment changes our experience. Together we discover why and how children and their grownups can learn to pay attention while connecting to the present moment for a more centered and grounded experience. The program includes hands-on activities, guided conversations, and experiments with the senses, hearts, and minds.

Sylwia Willcox is a kindergarten teacher and a mindfulness teacher with Northshore Insight Meditation Center. She also runs Newburyport Aikido with her husband. Newburyport Aikido is hosted by Internal Arts New England.
