Unusual times call for us to reach within for guidance, as we have the ability to be our own guiding stars. When children can cultivate this innate ability of creativity to access their inner knowledge, it empowers them to be resilient and confident, two qualities they need in this world of new and special challenges, marked by the social isolation and learning loss born from COVID; overuse of technology and reliance on social media; and/or increased uncertainties about the future voiced by adults at home or in the media.
DreamKids® | Imagery for Children is now being offered in its second year! Dr. Catherine Shainberg, Founder of the School of Images, is joined by Certified Practitioner, Sheona McEwan in this fascinating 21-week exploration of the ways that Saphire® Imagery techniques can help young people cultivate and draw upon their inner guidance to develop emotional, mental, inner and and outer strength, confidence and resilience. Professionals work with children are encourages to apply, as are parents and practitioners who wish to broaden their knowledge of Saphire® Imagery techniques.
The School of Images, founded by Dr. Catherine Shainberg, explores the ways that imagery, and both night and waking dreams can be used as a path to health and healing. Dr Shainberg has written several books on this topic and teaches her method all over the world. Much of the work involves the use of short, yet powerful exercises that help harness the power of the imagination and the subconscious to create improved social, physical and mental conditions.
Sheona McEwan, SOI Certified Practitioner, is a child psychologist and special needs educator and counselor working in private practice for over 20 years. She regularly uses Dr Shainberg’s methods in counseling and teaching practice with school-aged students and their parents. She has found that the playful, creative exercises designed to engage their developing imagination are powerful tool for growth, adaptation, and transformation. The short, guided exercise help kids to engage their inner knowledge and wisdom and to find ways to deal with difficult feelings or challenges in a new creative way.
Through 21 weekly sessions running from October through May, DreamKids® | Imagery for Children will explore:
- The top issues hampering early child development;
- The skills children need to thrive as they grow;
- The creative exercises that will most effectively engage kids’ imagination to help them deal with difficult feelings or challenges in a way that builds their self-confidence and resilience;
