Join author and mindfulness teacher Natasha Iregbu as she invites families to practice mindfulness in a fun and enjoyable way.
Natasha and her excitable butterfly Amaya will take you on a journey of storytelling and mindfulness as they guide you and your children to use your senses and practice being in the moment.
The session will include a book reading, mindfulness activities, yoga movement and a craft activity.
Natasha is a Children’s Author, Mindfulness Teacher and Coach, Yoga Teacher and Community Education Worker. She was inspired to write her debut book Slow Down Amaya to promote diversity, inclusion and positive wellbeing.
This session is suitable for children ages 5-8. Please note parents/carers must stay with their child during the activity.
This event is part of our Wellbeing Week, Monday 13–Sunday 19 May, to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week.
