Rediscovering How We See & Understand Children

A Weekend Seminar exploring the methodologies of Project Commotion and Professionals in our Community
Saturday and Sunday, April 12 & 13, 2014 |

Join us in celebrating the Week of the Young Child, with a full weekend of learning through movement,
relationship-building, observation, and self-examination. If you have attended
a PC workshop before, you know this will be an educational experience like no
other! Parents, teachers, students, and professionals will benefit from this
great opportunity to explore how we learn about ourselves and our environment,
how to see children through a lens of brain development and sensory awareness,
and how we can shift our understanding into practice in our daily lives with
children.
