Full Moon Kids Club

Deep Breath! This is a lot to take in, but Chantelle wants to ensure you have as much information as possible to ease your mind about committing to a workshop series over the course of a year and that your investment is worthwhile!

Join us as we journey through a lunar lit year filled with moon magic. The 'Kids Moon Club' has been created by Nicolette Sonder of the "Wilder Child" and it 'is a lunar focused framework that invites your family to slow down, look up, and connect to your nearby nature.' Chantelle will be leading us through her beautifully designed, year long work shop full of lunar learning, community, connection, and crafting activities! Chantelle will be tying in her own experience as a facilitator in addition to the wonderful series.

Embarking on a year-long workshop might initially seem like a daunting commitment, yet when considering the profound impact it can have on creating lasting traditions and meaningful connections, the significance becomes apparent. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore and establish learning and rituals that resonate, fostering a deep sense of place and connection for our children. Delving into the beauty of this endeavor, it allows children to weave a tapestry of shared experiences, creating touchstones that withstand. Rather than being overwhelming, the prospect becomes an exciting journey of self-discovery, growth, and the joy of creating new traditions. We are aiming to build strong bonds within our wonderful community of young minds, creating a magical shared experience. 

What will be included in our workshop series?

Links to more monthly themed activities to do at home provided by Wilder Child! 

Where: Fort Macleod will be our home base! Chantelle is hoping to gather outside as much as possible! But that isn't always feasible, so for evenings if weather is holding us back from our plans, we will be meeting at the Kids First Family Center. The location will be emailed out prior to the event. 

Who: Ages 5-12. Ages 7 and up are able to be dropped off, however guardians are welcome to stay! If you would like a preview of the material to see if your child would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out! This is a big age gap, but the moon is for everyone! This series will be geared towards a collective.

When: We will be gathering on Thursdays at 6:00pm either on the Full Moon or the Thursday prior so that you will be ready! We will complete our activities by 7:00pm but on nice evenings, every one is welcome to spend some extra time together out in nature.
