Some Foundations & Philosophy Elements
About Heart-Storming and correlating the ideal
inspiring safe space for our beloved little ones
Forest Kids Temple
We embrace the Forest School ethos that chooses Nature as the ideal classroom for our children. Holistic development is stimulated through many games and activities that are proposed everyday to awaken the child to hear his social, physical, intellectual and emotional intelligences and realities as well as spiritual connection and communication.
Forest School
Is the perfect resonance with Essencia mission to create a New Earth Eco-Village and grow peaceful loving humans. Other educational wisdoms are weaved in.
The variety of activities are selected for their ability to develop 5 main axis for the children:
- Self-awareness
- Self regulation
- Self-motivation
- Social skills
- Empathy
Besides the safety rules, kids are not obliged to follow any activities at a given time. They can follow their bliss and curiosity until they are ready to engage. One day per month is dedicated to parents to share about holistic education and their kids' specific growth. We will build a chill space forest tea room for the parents who wish to stay around during school, read, chat, connect with other community parents, and work.
Our Purpose
Create and facilitate an inspiring kids space to awaken our children to their full potential.
For residents, neighbours and our larger community's children as well.
As offering a solution for the children of our guests, allowing more guests to come for retreats, healing & self discovery journeys.
As well as Lightworkers providing that we have a beautiful and nourishing solution for all.
Our Vision
Welcome the Children in Nature
for an holistic playful education in Life
using modern and ancient wisdoms of alternative education tools and ethos.
Parents are grateful and relaxed and enjoy some free time for their personal and professional activities. They are happy to share some of their time and skills for the growth and comfort of the kids space and the children.
The kids play and laugh and can blossom freely in a supportive conscious environment.
Our MISSION
Open and curate an accessible, safe and inspiring space for Children and parents growth in Nature.
Offer a wide variety of awakening activities that develop the Social, Physical, Intellectual, Communication, Emotional and Spiritual skills with a focus on self-awareness, self regulation, self-motivation, social skills and empathy with strong Connection to Nature.
