We are so thrilled to continue the very popular Mindfulness + Movement program each year! Groups are held seasonally (spring and fall) at a peaceful family farm setting in South Windsor. We will be expanding these offerings to our Avon location in the spring as well. Children will learn practical strategies for coping and self-expression, while connecting with nature and other children.
Each session begins with a mindfulness exercise to teach skills for managing anxiety, worry, impulse control, attention, and focus.
Participants will engage in a creative hands-on craft activity that complements the mindfulness lessons taught each session.
Movement activities serve to develop motor coordination, self-awareness, patience, confidence, perseverence through games, yoga, and dance.
Lastly, participants are left with a final reflection, message, or reading to carry with them outside the group setting.
The fine print: Group Therapy is $60/session. Superbills will be sent if you wish to submit to insurance as an out-of-network service (CPT 90853). Groups will be limited to 10 participants each. The after school group is a six-week program. While we understand that conflicts arise, it will be important for participants to commit to at least four sessions to ensure continuity of the group. Should groups fill up, we will take a waitlist and add sessions accordingly. Currently all groups are held at a family farm location in South Windsor CT. We have a small flock of chickens and ducks, hay fields, and wooded walking trails for the children to enjoy. We will be outdoors as much as possible, with the option to move indoors if necessary due to weather.
