Zen Kids Workshop

LOVE & KINDNESS

Join us for a heart-centered evening designed just for kids! The Zen Kids Workshop blends the calming power of breathwork and sound with playful movement and meaningful connection — all centered around the theme of love and kindness.

We’re excited to be collaborating with @BreatheByThara to co-facilitate this special event. Thara is a Reiki Master and social worker who brings her own grounded, healing energy to the space — guiding the children through breathwork and sound bowl therapy in a way that is both gentle and empowering.

Beginner’s Yoga

Sound Bowls

Karthica Tharmalingam, RECE.

“Movement is a form of medicine for children — it helps them explore, express, and regulate in a way that words often can’t. Through beginner yoga, children begin to respect their bodies, understand their boundaries, and develop a deeper awareness of themselves from the inside out. It’s a beautiful invitation to move with intention and care."

Tharani Thurairatnam, Social Worker & Reiki Master.

"Breathwork and sound bowl therapy create a beautiful synergy — the breath grounds us, while sound frequencies gently shift how we feel and think. Together, they help children access calm, clarity, and compassion from within. These practices nurture emotional resilience and deepen their connection to self and others.”
