Description

Celebrate the Senses Mini Wellness Retreat for middle school girls will begin in the art studio where the girls will create Aromatherapy Affirmation Bracelets with Art Therapist Jenny Murphy. The girls will be guided to tune-in to their senses of smell and touch, by creating colorful beaded bracelets. These bracelets will include scented lava rocks, positive word charms, and rose quartz gems. Girls will learn the benefits of 3 different essential oils, as well as the meaning and uses of rose quartz. Girls will also learn how to create a positive affirmation from their word charm, and how repeating that affirmation as they touch their beads can help to create calm. Throughout the workshop, they will come to understand the power of presence. Following the art workshop, the girls will be led into the barn to have a mindfulness practice with Kristen Dean. The girls will learn how to use their senses as a superpower for creating calm. Girls will be led through exercises to recognize their stress, reflect on how they currently manage it and experience grounding tools integrating their senses, including breathing and meditation, to empower themselves. The workshop will end with an opportunity to journal about the experience and share their thoughts with fellow participants.
