Wesley Stahler's Groups
Soothe - play/support grp for babies & caregivers
Soothe is a 10 wk grp for newborns to early walkers focusing soothing the caregiver while soothing the baby. Over the course of the 10 wks we will develop & expand upon the coping & soothing strategies the caregiver & baby have developed. Each session we use expressive arts, baby massage, developmental and sensory play to build connection & attachment between mother & child & support & community within the group. Working with consistency, predictability and routine we will develop archival, heirloom baby-centered art and a journal during our 10 weeks along with greater competencies & trust in our new role as parent & a loved, secure baby.
Once Around the Lake
Once Around the Lake Thursday, 9:30 - 10:45 Meadow @ Silverlake Reservoir. The group will begin with a circle time - connecting with song followed with an intro to the focus of the day. The focus will include seeing the world through our babies eyes. We will slow down and explore using our senses, a time to quiet us while we quiet our children. Next, once around the lake - physically taking care of us we will connect with our bodies while connecting with our babes & one another. Bring your stroller, baby carrier.... Session conclude circling in the meadow, closing song & snack.
Girl Group
This is the group we wish we had when we were pre-teens. During the ten-week session, we'll offer concrete tools to navigate this changing world. Through writing, dance, conversation and art, we will explore topics such as "social media," "friendship," "becoming an expert," "finding your story," "self-love" and more. Teen guides and special guests will add sparkle to this strength driven and community building effort. Loving facilitation to normalize the challenges of the pre-teen experience. Each session ends with a meal, making it a super awesome way to end the week!
