"Water Drop Journeys has, within the framework of a skillfully articulated story, encapsulated the wisdom of sharing and caring while teaching the essence of loving-kindness with subtlety... The moment we are able to appreciate loving-kindness, we will understand as human beings, we are a part of greater whole and possess a pattern in us that corresponds in similarity with that of the universe. In other words, we are a microcosm within a macrocosm."
- Dr Peter Mack -
Extracted from the foreword, read the full version here.
Based upon Water Drop Journeys, this workshop let children experience mindfulness-based activities such as listening and playing with Singing Bowls, moving mindfully, paying attention using their different senses and other fun activities that exercise their creative thinking and problem solving skills. Instead of competing against one another, they practise teamwork to work together and take turns to lead and solve thoughtfully designed games and puzzles. There will also be postcard colouring and an outdoor scavenger hunt if weather allows.
Formerly known as the Book Reading Workshop, the Conscious Kid Workshop is designed to cultivate consciousness within every child.

CONSCIOUS KID WORKSHOP & SEQUEL
Date: To be advised
Venue: Blk 279B, Sengkang East Ave (indoor) and a mini outdoor scavenger hunt if weather allows.
Price: To be advised
In this sequel, children continue their journey with the water droplet. This time, we will dive into the memories of water and the waves of emotions that rise, crest and fall (when accepted). We will hear first-hand from the children about emotions including those that may cause discomfort and let them find out for themselves the treasures washed up by these emotions.
"Emotional discomfort, when accepted, rises, crests, and falls in a series of waves. Each wave washes a part of us away and deposits treasures we never imagined. Out goes naivete, in comes wisdom; out goes anger, in comes discernment; out goes despair, in comes kindness. No one would call it easy, but the rhythm of emotional pain that we learn to tolerate is natural, constructive, and expansive... The pain leaves you healthier than it found you."

Conscious Kid Workshop (Loving Kindness Begins with Me)
This 1.5-hour workshop included simple mindfulness activities to improve self awareness and mental resilience. It is based on my book, Water Drop Journeys where children will role play the various book characters and also contemplate how their choices and actions would impact themselves, others and the environment.
The workshop was nice and fun. 🙂 I enjoyed myself with the activities, such as looking at the leaves and doing nature walk. :)
