The program also focuses on helping students practice emotional awareness and growth mindset through journaling, reflection and through play with kendama in a series of progressively harder challenges and games. Students can expect to be active and moving during our class. No prior Kendama experience is necessary! Students will receive a Kendama to take home and practice. https://www.mindfulnessthroughplay.org/ Note: Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable.
