E | Emotional Members will practice listening and expressing themselves through conversation, learn how to let emotions such as anger or frustration move through them, how to work with and within an anxious mind, and find an understanding of the downside to judgment. We will also focus on building social skills with other children and adults.
M | Mind Members will learn to focus on the different aspects of their mind. How to differentiate between what they believe and what they know; How to respect other human perspectives and how to quiet a busy mind and be present.
S | Spiritual We will deepen the discussions with big questions such as ‘who are you’, ‘what does ‘purpose’ mean in this life experience’, along with discussions on quantum physics and sacred geometry in nature and in us. The conversation will have a starting question that is asked within the class followed by a discussion and sharing of opinion and perspectives. How each child sees the world, allowing them to hear how others do the same. We believe that each person’s perspective makes up the whole.
The Entrepreneurship & Innovation classes are created to teach, coach and inspire the children to be entrepreneurial in their lives. The PEMS will provide the children creative opportunities to develop, design & produce a product, organize a marketing plan and go to market.
