THE VIRTUAL MANDALA CIRCLE FOR KIDS

The Mandala Circle for Kids is for 7-12 year olds.

Our world is continuously changing and shape shifting. Most adults can navigate their way through the many varieties of clinicians, healing modalities, retreats and opportunities available to them. I myself have been one to pursue many different avenues since 2006. My journey began early in order to assist others that would follow suit, displaying similar symptoms of awakening, heralding the beginnings of the new Golden Age upon our beloved planet Earth, and in search of a different way of healing naturally and holistically.

So What About Our Children? How Are They Coping?

I currently assist an organisation that helps kids that have experienced or are experiencing some form of trauma. This in turn affects their overall development. E.g. self esteem, confidence, sleeping and eating patterns, ability to learn and connect to community. I often speak with parents, guardians, grandparents, teachers, social workers etc, that are struggling to find the right assistance and guidance for the young ones in their care. This is due to a variety of reasons – long waitlists, inability to form trust with therapists, affordability – just to name a few. Or, perhaps they are simply unique and require a different approach or combination of modalities just as adults do?

Why Do Children Need A Mandala Circle?

Many children are struggling with a variety of emotions and an inability to cope with different and often stressful situations – such as grief, anger, fear, isolation, hypersensitivity, anxiety, depression, feeling misunderstood, detachment…The list goes on. Oftentimes, their struggles can go undetected until they are much older. After all, they are still developing and may not have the experience and/or vocabulary to describe their emotions or discuss difficult topics. Gathering in a virtual Circle with like-minded others can help to normalise experiences; build a support group and develop friendships; the group’s collective energy can create powerful shifts when the intention to gather is to heal and grow; attendees can motivate each other; the circle can generate mindfulness and non-judgement towards self and others; can provide ‘a-ha’ moments; and slow down their day-to-day experiences. 

How can The Mandala Circle help? 

The Circle provides them with a creative outlet in which they feel safe and comfortable enough to acknowledge, explore, express and process their inner emotions. Creativity allows the mind to expand naturally and freely. It is how children learn and is the best stage of life to instil gentle practices and tools that may assist them to better manage and cope with different types of discomfort. As they learn about themselves they will also learn to practise social skills. Each child will have an opportunity to share their art at their own pace and capabilities – and have fun!
