Powerful panel on supporting children's emotional health

What a heartfelt and inspiring meeting we had last week! The topic was Supporting Children's Emotional Health.


Our panelists shared wisdom on breaking patterns and belief systems that don't serve us so that we can be fully present for our children and teach them healthy habits. We talked about engagement and connection to intuition. The speakers touched on food, natural medicine, family rhythms, bodywork and energy work as strategies to ground and support children emotionally and physically (which can often be one and the same!)


Thank you to all the attendees; to our new host, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington and chapter co-leader Michelle for her work to find us a new home; and to the panelists:
