Importance of Tradition - This Is Us
: 2 hour gathering for adults
​The Rag Doll Gift, a children’s picture book, is a gentle story about the strength of family, the comfort of tradition, and the boundlessness of love. Research shows that traditions are one of the three pillars of strong,  healthy families. Traditions are  behaviors and routines that give a family it's identity and purpose; they pass through generations connecting us and giving us all a sense of belonging. Reading, presentation and discussion for parents, grandparents and any adult who loves a child!

Care & Comfort : 2 hour gathering for adults
Children in grief need care and comfort. Children’s literature can help. High quality picture books dealing with loss can open doors to conversation and provide space for healing in a natural comforting way. We will read some of these books, discuss methods for sharing them with children, and explore activities that may provide extended comfort.

Somebody Come and Play! : 2 hour gathering for adults
An opportunity to explore, gain insights, and feel the power of  play.​ When children are fully and freely engaged in play, they learn new things, develop social and emotional skills, feel part of a community and take on new challenges. The same is true for adults. Play : it's not just for kids anymore! Play, regardless of age, promotes active engagement, internal control, joyfulness, and social connection. Come play! You will learn a lot about the children in your life and a lot about yourself.

Make and Take a Rag Doll! : 2 hour gathering for adults

All materials will be provided , however, if you have a special "rag''; sentimental article of clothing from a loved one, out grown baby outfit, etc. bring it with you to use for your doll. Kits to make more dolls at home will be available to purchase.
