Supporting Nourishment in Early Childhood - Body, Soul and Spirit
with Sarah Mecca and Anthony Mecca
part of a series of workshops on supporting health and illness at home
at Sun Heart Farm in Stephentown, NY
10am to 4pm
Cost:
$25 USD ($40 AUD) paid to EduCareDo with registration below
(paid once whether attending 1, 2, or all 3 workshops)
+ sliding scale contribution in-person: $40-75/workshop
In this workshop we will look at different aspects of nutrition in the life of the young child. We will consider the ‘earthly nutrition’ of food in the life of the young child – recognizing that by observing a child’s relationship to eating and food preferences we can gain insight into their constitutional tendencies and needs and ask the question of how we could bring greater balance and diversity to the nutrition of the young child. We will also explore the ‘cosmic nutrition’ of all that they absorb through their senses as well as the influence of their unseen environment, particularly the world of thoughts, feelings, and will impulses of the adults that surround them.
In addition to offerings on each workshop theme, the days will include a nourishing meal, the opportunity to both receive and learn how to offer therapeutic treatments at home and gain familiarity with some home remedies, and space for individual reflection, experiential exercises and group conversation. Each workshop will deepen and build upon the pre-reading Supporting Inner Freedom in the Young Child through Health and Illness (a lesson in the EduCareDo Early Childhood Course). While the workshops are aimed at supporting parents and caregivers in the home, the workshop content and experience will also be relevant for those interested in deepening their relationship to their own experiences of health and illness as well as those caring for other adults. The workshop content will unfold and adapt to meet the questions and interests of the participants.
This day-long workshop is offered through Developing the Self Developing the World and is open to all. You can attend 1, 2 or all 3 workshops (other two workshops are Jan 19 (Working with Health and Illness at Home) and Feb 23 (Preventative Healthcare at Home).
All three workshops will take place at Sun Heart Farm in Stephentown, New York.
Childcare available on-site.

Even though we may recognize the deep meaningfulness of illness for growth and development and for the strengthening of both child and caregiver, that is not to say that all illness processes are necessary or unavoidable. By fostering good health we can support greater balance and harmony without having to traverse every illness process ‘available’. As adults, we have to know how to perceive and evaluate the wellness or imbalance of our own system in order to support this development in the young child. By cultivating and deepening our own relationship to rest and to harmonizing therapeutic applications we can more potently facilitate these experiences for the young children in our care.
In addition to offerings on each workshop theme, the days will include a nourishing meal, the opportunity to both receive and learn how to offer therapeutic treatments at home and to gain familiarity with some home remedies. There will also be space for individual reflection, experiential exercises and group conversation.

Meeting rich and diverse experiences of health and illness support the child’s journey of growth and development towards inner freedom in adulthood. While we need to consciously support their unfolding, at the same time we must tread lightly, so as to not interfere in the potential fruits that may naturally unfold for them through their experiences of health and illness. Our conscious activity of reverence serves them on this journey.
