Kids Program
In December 2022 the Permaculture kids program has new organisers and an expanded progaming. As in year past all humans are welcome in the programing but we ask that kids that are not ready to self regulate within a group be accompanied by a parent.
Emma Mujica & Zyon Christante will lead this year’s children’s program. Parents of 3 girls, they’re passionate about conscious parenting. They have experience with nature-based youth programs and have been integrating ancestral parenting styles into their community and family life.
They will weave in a “kids council” into the program which will give children a sense of belonging, purpose, and responsibility. Older youths, ages 10-18 are welcome to join as peacemakers or junior leaders. Within this framework, Emma and Zyon will
create sacred agreements with the kids to promote peace and harmony within the community.
The basic agreements will be “peace with all”, “respect for all”, and “all as one.” At the first kids’ council circle, children will
have an opportunity to voice their sacred agreements, as well.
Planned activities for the weekend include dance, music, nature mandalas, art, nature walks, fairy gardening, nature scavenger hunts, and outdoor games. Children will also have an opportunity to learn from teachers, artisans, and creators during dedicated times. Finally, kids will have an opportunity to showcase their creations and findings during the morning circle on Sunday.
