Dear community,

We reach out in hopes of your continued safety and well-being. Spring continues to bloom all around us, bringing the anticipation of brighter days ahead. We hope that you find time to get outdoors, safely and responsibly. May you continue to breathe, and take in the small gifts that nature presents; a warm ray of sunlight through a window, a faint, fragrant breeze, the chirping of a robin or chittering of a squirrel, the rustling of branches as they prepare for new life. We hope that you continue to find joy and light in each coming day, and look forward to reuniting with you all as soon as possible.

In the pdfs below, please find activities for children and adults (including Week of the Young Child Daily Themes), awareness resources, mindfulness moments (such as “going on a mindfulness safari”), and information on emotional wellbeing, specifically on cultivating the Quaker value of EQUITY.
