Workshops for Kids  (ages 12-16yrs. old)

Designing the Life of Your Dreams...From the Outside In! (Kid’s Version): In this new workshop for kids (age 12 years old and up) we learn about the Laws of Attraction and how what we think affects our confidence, goal-setting and social interactions.  Be prepared to learn about what your "stuff" says about you and how to go about purging un-needed, and un-loved items and how they can really be holding you back.  Learn some beginning feng shui principles and how to apply this age old science, along with your goals, into creating the path to achieve your dreams.  Get ready for an interactive, fun, learning experience with some “art” projects that will act as reminders when self-doubt creeps in.  

 

Feng Shui for Kids:  Here we talk of the history of feng shui, the bagua board and how to apply the colors and principles to their personal space.  Organizing, color, goal-setting and basic space-planning are all discussed in this workshop.  Feng shui is made fun, understandable and easy to apply for kids who want to learn more about this 5000 year old design philosophy.

 

The Laws of Attraction for Teens:  Learn the principles of positive thinking and how to attract the things you want in life into your life.  Topics discussed are the powers of positive thought, how what/who you surround yourself with affects you, how to set goals/priorities to achieve success and some confidence building skills that will empower you throughout school, a job and life.

 

Designing the Bedroom of Your Dreams-Kid's Version:  This new seminar is for the "budding" designer who wants to express themselves (while NOT ruining walls!) in their bedrooms.  We talk basic color theory and space-planning and how to "rebel" and make your personal statement through accessories without stressing out and scaring your parents.  We also discuss healthy/natural alternatives for kids who have allergies, health issues or are environmentally conscious.

 

(De)Cluttering for Kids: Due to the popularity of Organizing Your Inner Pack Rat for adults, this seminar was developed for the children of "clutter-aholics".  Many participants were bringing their kids to seminars as the parents saw their kids copying their pack-rat tendencies.  So, this seminar is devoted to the kids!  We talk about the WHYS of keeping items past their usefulness or age appropriateness and HOW we can let go and move forward.  Basic organizing skills are also discussed to make their spaces more efficient and useful for them and to teach them skills that they will use into adulthood.
