We are excited to be partnering with The Jefferson County Library to offer a winter Mindful Self Compassion 8 week after school program on Wednesday afternoons!
The program is open for enrollment for 11-14 year olds from Jefferson County. Students will learn skills to find calm in stressful times and tools to navigate the ups and downs of life. The activities we use engage students in learning through mindfulness practices, games and art activities. Students become a supportive community through the 8 weeks of sharing and working together.
Students from last year’s program appreciated the skills they were learning. Here of some of the things they reflected on:
“I've learned how to really think about things more than I ever used to"”
"Now I feel like I have other people I can talk to who will support me"
"Now I have people I can think of when I'm going through something and know I'm not the only one"
Registration is open for the program! We have a pay-what-you-can policy designed to welcome anyone in the age range to sign up regardless of ability to pay.
Benji Project instructors Nancy and Steve are excited to be leading the program this season and look forward to connecting with this new group.
