GARDENING CIRCLES
Our holistic gardening circles are a fun and learning experience for kids of all ages. We believe the circle represents a universal life force, where everything flows under divine order and natural balance. In Zen Buddhism the circle is called enso, it represents the moment when the mind becomes quiet letting the heart free to create. For Native Americans the Circle of Life represents the connection between humans, animals, plants, and the environment. It reflects their deep respect and reverence for nature . The circle of life is a powerful symbol of unity, balance and protection.
Gardening goes beyond harvesting fruits and vegetables. Being outdoors and working on the land has many benefits, like sunbathing, grounding, physical activity, and healthy eating habits. Another great benefit of gardening is that it reduces stress and anxiety. Gardening has a calming effect because children learn to relax by breathing in fresh air and being at peace under the sunshine. Frequent gardening can also improve focus and memory, as well as social skills.
The therapeutic benefits of garden environments have been documented since ancient times. The symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, known as ADHD, can also be alleviated by outdoor green space activities. Flowers, for example, can promote positive emotions like mood and social interaction. Bird-watching and the soothing sounds of birdsong also induces a state of bliss, alleviating negative emotions.
From seeding to watering to caring for and watching that seed grow into a living plant, kids learn about nature's generosity, leading to a natural state of gratitude for the gifts of Mother Nature and others, as well as developing a sacred respect for the environment.
Gardening is a wonderful way to improve overall health and well-being in children. There is no place like a garden to find magic and bliss!
We use a combination of sacred sound, sacred movement, and The Virtues Project inspirational cards to make this experience even more magical and memorable. Bee Happy Holistic Gardening Circles is a fun and interactive activity for kids of all ages.
Our fun and educational services are the perfect combination for corporate and non profit events like homeschooling, libraries, book stores, after school programs, summer camps, churches, festivals, plant nursery and botanic gardens.
