Mentoring Circle: The Journey Within
Co-ed for ages 12-13 years
An age appropriate journey for the tween child to understand how their brain works. We will visit the parts of the brain responsible for stress responses, emotions, and executive functions. Learning to “work with our tools” will include the responsible use of screens as well as introducing regulation skills to better manage our lives by knowing how to work with the brain rather than being run by it.
Buiding The Bridge Mother-Daughter Retreat

THE FOUNDATIONS : Weekend Workshop led by Nina Gallwey
The foundational neural scaffolding that is needed to support emotional and mental health is laid in childhood, and it can be added at any time! This weekend deep dive will navigate us through the development of the brain and how to support children in “building a solid house” to support ease in learning and social skills.
More than ever, children need to have resilient neurology, with tools to work with challenges, as we collectively move through an evolutionary shift to bring intelligent and co-creative opportunities for them as they grow up in a more complex world.
Knowing how to identify areas of neurology and sensory systems that can be bolstered and nourished supports all areas of a child’s life as we are simultaneously strengthening the nervous system. In addition, knowing how to identify a child‛s unique learning profile allows for using the gateways the various ways that children learn.
Tools provided in this workshop promote creating an environment for ease and understanding in the classroom and home life and are hugely effective for tutors, speech therapists, and counselors as well as teachers and parents. Gain an extensive “toolbox” with a variety of easy to use, playful activities to enhance neural efficiency and reduce anxiety in children and promote our own integration as the adults who guide them!
The weekend is an intro class on primitive reflexes, foundational sensory systems, and learning profiles that underlie challenges with academic learning, social behaviors, and provide understanding to why and how we all process differently.
Nina Gallwey is an educational support specialist with 33 years of experience in classroom teaching and special education. She developed, and oversees, a successful support program for children with diverse learning styles in addition to running a parent and teacher resource center. Nina has been teaching, lecturing, and running workshops for parents and teachers for over 20 years.

THE ORDER OF LOVE: Family constellations with Susan Schlosser
Family Constellation work is a potent way we can support the healing of unresolved issues in our family of origin. As we “clear the waters,” we undam places where love got stuck, and we free our children from carrying generational baggage that is not theirs to carry. Join us to experience this transformational tool that has ripple effects on all areas of our life as we realign with the order of love and heal our family system.
This day is hosted by Ohana Family Resources and facilitated by Susan Schlosser. I have been doing Family Constellations with Susan for over 15 years. It has had powerful affects on my relationship with my family, friends, and work life. I am so excited to share this experience with you.
Susan Schlosser, M.A. has been guiding people through the powerful process of transformation for many years. Through deep listening and connecting with the Greater Soul, she brings compassion and light heartedness to the journey of awakening, while honoring and respecting the wisdom that each person carries in their own soul. http://truenatureconstellations.com
