As an often over-analytical person radiating tons of excess energy as I flit from task, activity, thought and stimulation, the introduction of mindfulness has served to bring me back to purpose, hold me to commitments and allowed me to enjoy living in the moments of life. It’s a habit I wish I’d started practicing right from childhood in early developmental days. So this is my way of sharing that advice to enable mindfulness at scale.
I believe in the organization’s mission. Teaching children to recognize the voice in their heads will give the tools to be compassionate to themselves and the world at large.
Ivy Child exemplifies the type of frontline social justice organization that I am eager to support for its ability to directly impact lives and create a more equitable society.
Ivy Child is providing children with lifelong tools to become more mindful, compassionate and resilient leaders. Providing mindful education to children and communities is critically important, especially now, so we can start to solve the most pressing societal issues equitably, with diverse viewpoints and through the lens of a growth mindset.
Advancing mindfulness and resilience for children across the globe, esp those who hail from disenfranchised communities, is one of my life’s primary mandates, and deeply aligned with Rose & ICI’s Vision, Mission & Execution Strategy.
I strongly believe that bringing mindfulness to children across the country can change the course of their lives and allow them to feel valued and connected.
The workshops facilitated by Ivy Child International are very nurturing with a mix of breathing, movement, affirmations, and inspiring throughout with thoughtful encouragement. Participants were appreciative to have the space to practice these valuable techniques. Many left the session feeling invigorated to start implementing some of these practices immediately.
Ivy Child International provides our scholars and staff with a refreshing set of meaningful tools and strategies that can be employed each day. Our community tormented with trauma, homelessness, domestic abuse, substance abuse, divorce, and other “isms”, were incredibly grateful for multiple workshops on mindfulness, self- regulation skills, and joy.
Ivy Child International offers mindfulness workshops for our staff as part of our wellness offerings. The style of programs are focused on providing a number of very practical, hands-on tools. Ivy Child facilitators are not only skilled but exude warmth and calmness which immediately puts people at ease. The team is very knowledgeable about the subject of mindfulness but doesn’t overwhelm with information; rather they provide a number of very practical, hands-on tools. Ivy Child encourages questions and comments and patiently responds to all. The sessions are delightful.
Ivy Child International inspires others to do their best work and be their best selves.
