What We’re Up To
We’ve just published the second edition of the Mindfulness & Movement Activity Cards, GROWTH DECK. Same great activities; new look. We’ve also dropped the price. Help your favorite student’s teacher guide her class to SETTLE, CREATE and PLAY. I bet their teacher will thank you every day!
Do you want to practice more mindfulness each day?
Save the date for the 2024 Central Iowa Yoga Retreat–April 6, 2024.
Join us at Raccoon River Nature Lodge in West Des Moines. Come to move, and leave with community. Contact Ashley for more info on teaching and attending.
We’re organizing a retreat where you can connect with old friends, and make some new ones. Spring isn’t THAT far away!
Shelly and Sara work closely with the Iowa Farm to School movement. Sara works with the Farm, Food, and Enterprise Development at ISU, and Shelly teaches nutrition to kids through Pick a Better Snack.
Eating well is crucial to good health, and local food is a growing concern in Iowa.
Autumn is here. Lots of healthy, local foods are in your grocery store. Do you know how to use them?
The pandemic and the need for kids to learn at home inspired us to develop a collection of home learning resources that parents (and teachers) could use with their kiddos. We still offer them FOR FREE.
Creating unique ways to get your point across, and deepen understanding of the world and its mysteries.
