I used the book 'My Heart fills with Happiness' for 3 yoga sessions this week.

(and saw it on the shelf of this weekend!)

Heres what some kiddos shared fills their heart with happiness:

💛'I get ice cream with my dad'

💛'Love'

💛'When I see a dog!'

And here's some ways my heart filled with happiness at Take A Leaf this week:

🌿A camp day with new friendships, sharing, kindness and bubbles!

🌿A child new to meditation sat and meditated in free time! Peace begins with me!

🌿Spending time in the beautiful Prana Yoga space on their last day.

🌿Walking barefoot on the grass and doing flower Toega with awesome families.

🌿Improvising a 4-4.30pm daycare sessionwithout music and have a kid turn to me and say 'This is the best yoga ever!'

Ella and I go waaaaay back - we actually met at Camp Squamish!

Join me and Ella at a Take A Leaf Camp day - book a spot via the link in bio or please share with a friend!

'blowing your own trumpet' aka sharing what's awesome about you is always a little bit uncomfortable for me but it shouldn't be. We should feel confident and share the best of ourselves wherever we go.

So I borrowed Ella's Moms kind words for this testimonial and can add to this that I am

🌻kind and caring
🌻chaotically organised
🌻a natural leader
🌻great with kids
🌻genuinely passionate about creating safe, inclusive spaces for all human beings to be themselves and feel confident!

I learnt a lot of this where Ella and I first met Easter Seals BC/Yukon. 'The best place on earth' showed me what true inclusion can feel like, both as a camper (most return year after year because of how they feel there), as a staff member and as a human being!

I am beyond grateful for all the amazing campers I met, and life-long friends I made in the four summers across a decade I spent working there.

A goal I have had since first experiencing Camp Winfield in 2013 is to bring camp magic into my day to day life by sharing the sense of inclusion and belonging camp creates. This forms a lot of the intentions and values behind Take A Leaf. Pairing this with the need for accessible day camp options needed in the sea to sky gives me my 'why' for my commitment to Take A Leaf Summer Camp!

Last week's meet and greet at already made the effort worthwhile. It was great to meet some awesome kids and see the beginnings of friendships filled with kindness and curiosity forming- I was so excited I forgot to take pictures of the set up!

Thank you for everyone who has registered, shared with friends and spread the magic and JOY!
