Curriculum Overview
Youth learn the importance of balancing their physical and spiritual self-care. We play a matching game that helps us align thoughts, feelings, and actions to create a desirable experience.
2023 Theme: Living Out Loud!
June Monthly Theme: Embracing Self-Care
Week 1 Value: Evolving Self-Care
Affirmation: My body is a gift that lets me love and dance and create and play
Spiritual Lesson: Evolving Self-Care
Self-Care Your body is a temple for your soul. Our bodies and minds are tools for spiritual connection and understanding. We are inherently good, deserving of love and respect.
Active Listening: Book/Music/Video
Creative Expression – Balancing Act
Youth learn the importance of balancing their physical and spiritual self-care. We play a matching game that helps us align thoughts, feelings, and actions to create a desirable experience.
Connecting/Spiritual Practice: I can name that feeling in 3 breaths
We take our feeling cards from our matching game from earlier and pick up the card that best describes our emotional or physical feeling after three mindful breaths. Practicing being present and naming how we feel brings us confidence and empowerment.
