Family Studio: The First Days
The first of many Family Studio programs at AC Satellite starts with the New Year and new intention setting. Eleanor Brindle, local author and illustrator of the high-contrast board book The First Days will team up with our friends at Kindred Yoga to open the New Year with clarity, calm, and creativity.
While parents and caregivers enjoy a a slow-flow yoga session with Kindred, Brindle will lead children in expressive art-making activities, exploring emotions, imagination, and dreams for the coming year as we try to answer the question, “Who will you become?”
FREE for Kindred & ACAC members, $15 for non-members
Registration encouraged, but not required
