Intentional Parenting Group: What kind of parent do you want to be?
Three-part series: September 27, October 11, October 25.
Have you been looking for a community of like-minded parents who desire to be intentional and mindful in their parenting journey? Dr. Sherri Danyali (Director of The Experiential School of Tampa Bay) and Shannon Lipan (Founder of The Wonder Studio) want to offer a safe space ("What happens in the parent group, stays in parent group") through discussion, games, and the sharing of information and ideas that can help participants discover what kind of parent they would like to be. Our first meeting will include "Designing your family mantra and why.” Bring a journal and pen so we can brainstorm and record ideas and inspirations. The goal of the workshop is to offer practical methods that will make your relationships with your children more rewarding and less stressful.
Sessions will begin with coffee and munchies from 8:15-8:30am and follow with a presentation, activities, and conversations from 8:30-9:30am.
To encourage dialogue and the sharing of personal experiences, space is limited to fifteen participants who can commit to attending all 3 sessions. Less than 5 spots remain. To RSVP, email both [email protected] and [email protected].
