FOR PRACTITIONERS CREATING INCLUSIVE SPACES
Integrated Counselling Approaches: Connections - From Circles to Cyphers
For equitable practitioners – Ministry of Education mandates emphasize that all learning environments must embrace Indigenous Educational Worldviews, with anti-racist, inclusive action at their core. The journey toward wellness begins by bridging connections from the inner self to outer world, macro to the micro levels; we are all integral parts of a larger universal system. This session uses the symbolism of a circle to do all that as it guides you through discussions and reflective exercises to identify patterns in your surroundings, leading to insights about patterns within yourself. Utilizing grounding techniques from nature and the arts, such as the cyphers in Hip-Hop, this session invites you not only to join the conversation but also to take away practical curriculum, actionable strategies, and profound insights to apply in teaching or counselling settings. Understanding these approaches within the global classroom enables us to better serve the students who often need our support the most. Integrate student roots & backgrounds into educational or therapeutic planning.

FOR COACHES AND PRACTITIONERS SUPPORTING PERFORMANCE & TEST ANXIETY IN YOUTH
Mindfulness & Imagery in Performance
Performance anxiety, also known as stage fright, is a psychological condition characterized by heightened fear or nervousness before or during a performance, public speaking engagement, or any scenario where an individual is in the spotlight. It typically arises in situations where the person is being observed or evaluated by others. This can be any type of performance from test to sport.
We tailor the theme based on the type of performance our audience is focused on.
For example, sports therapy sessions are aimed at helping athletes improve their performance by incorporating mindfulness and imagery techniques. By incorporating mindfulness practices, athletes learn to cultivate present-moment awareness, allowing them to stay focused and fully engaged during training and competitions.
Imagery exercises enable athletes to vividly visualize successful performances, enhancing confidence and boosting mental preparedness. This form of sports therapy harnesses the power of the mind to optimize performance, allowing athletes to tap into their full potential and achieve their goals.
Through a combination of mindfulness and imagery techniques, we equip individuals with invaluable mental tools that can elevate their performance and overall athletic or academic experience
