Simplicity Parenting: Rhythm and Scheduling with Nursery & Rosebud teacher Vanessa Kohlhaas October 12th 6:30 - 8:30pm Celebrate the Season: Creating an Advent Ritual in your Home with Movement & Games teacher Karen Benson November 9th 6:30 - 8:30pm Simplicity Parenting: Environment with Nursery & Rosebud teacher Vanessa Kohlhaas December 14th 6:30 - 8:30pm Simplicity is
not a simple change, it is a conscious one. One that takes persistent
consideration and active will in a society that wants us to want more.
As a teacher, I meet many parents who want to step out of the mainstream
message of more, faster, and now and find a new path in their parenting — but don’t know the way. Simplicity Parenting off This gathering will focus on Environment. Imagine your
home uncluttered, calm, orderly and with enough room for creative
messiness. In this evening we will explore how your home environment
affects you and your child and will practice a change process so you can
transform your environment to reflect the needs and values of your
family. Come join us for an evening on how to simplify your
environment. Simplicity Parenting: “Soul Fever” with Nursery teacher Vanessa Kohlhaas February 8th 6:30 - 8:30pm Simplicity Parenting Soul Fever This gathering will focus on Soul Fever. Imagine
how secure your child will feel knowing that when something is really
"up," when they don't feel right, you will notice and respond. In this
evening we will explore how to identify "soul fever" in our children and
how to help them come back to equilibrium. Come join us and find out
how soul fever is an opportunity for connection and more simplification.
