Homesteading, handicrafts, Hyyge

This class day is an opportunity for your children to learn mindfulness and contemplation through quiet, busy handiwork. In a loud, fast pace world, the art of purposeful creation in stillness is almost impossible to find. Hygge is just that.

In essence, hygge is creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. In opposition to the outside work world our

Mondays are structured with a beautiful slow morning in the garden at 9am where your child will learn how grow, tend and forage many wonderful foods and medicines.

At 10am our academic lessons will commence for ages 8 and older, and for those ages 5-7, we will take this time to learn about homesteading practices, foraging, intro into herbalism, plant identification, land conservation and food preservation, interrupted only by snack and tea.

After lunch, from 12-1pm Your child will select their chosen handicraft such as needle or wet felting, sewing, embroidery, crochet, painting, nature journaling, scrapbooking, or whittling and continue their work.

Relaxing with others in quiet mindfulness, curled up and dedicating their time to their long term projects we hope to teach the joy of peace and creativity.
