Mindfulness & Meditation in Nature

Mediation and relaxation for both children and parents (separate activities for children and adults, including child care for parents!)

DESCRIPTION

For Children
Devi Manet, local sound healer and yoga teacher, will take the children to another part of the enchanted Delray Beach Children’s garden for mindful activities including fun with sound bowls, meditation, breathing, and yoga for kids. Children respond very well to the sound of singing bowls, and guided meditation in the form of storytelling is a great tool to relax children. Mindful practices and kindness will be explored through yoga and simple breathing techniques. Research has shown that sound therapy is a wonderful tool to relax children and engage them in a positive activity.

For Adults
While Devi works with the children, Pablo del Real leads adults in mindfulness meditation. Pablo is the Director of Education for The Way Mindfulness Education, a company that brings mindfulness and meditation to schools, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals. Mindfulness and meditation reduce stress, anxiety, and depression — increasing joy, happiness, and compassion in the process. Mindfulness and meditation can also help lower blood pressure, improve memory, and relieve chronic pain. Meditating with other people also has a unique benefit — other perspectives. : )

WHAT WE PROVIDE / WHAT TO BRING
Yoga mats and chairs provided, but feel free to bring your own mat or folding chair if you like.
Also consider bringing a cushion, blanket, or water for comfort.

PARKING & TIMING
Free street parking is available along SW 2nd Avenue. Enter through the small blue gate on SW 2nd Avenue.
It’s ok to arrive late. A little meditation is better than none at all! Just enter the space quietly and take your place.

WEATHER
