3) Inspiration From Mindful Meditation and Aromatherapy in Creating Calm in the Classroom.

This is the Third in our 3 part Series Bringing Curiosity into the Classroom, a new workshop series on bringing community dialogue to ignite classroom creativity.  Local experts, innovators, and dynamic thinkers join us to impact education by fostering our curiosity and creating inspiring learning for young children. This is a chance to dialogue across disciplines as we hear about inspirations, methods, and strategies from our virtuosos. Theory becomes practice as we then take the opportunity to work with materials from the fields. Malaguzzi and the educators of Reggio Emilia challenge us to look outside the classroom for new ways to invigorate our curiosity and provide new perspectives and insights so we can do "nothing without joy."  

We invite the community to join in exploring and enriching how we see these contributions from across disciplines influence the cultural and educational fabric of our schools

Together we will explore:

• What is aromatherapy, and how can it support a mindful classroom?
  
• What are some of the benefits of aromatherapy?
  
• How do we use essential oils safely?
  
• What are some tools and techniques of aromatherapy?
