You will love the Feedback we collected from Kids and Parents about their Experience with the Creative ‘Gratitude Meditation’ – our 100 Seeds of Joy workshop
The photos above are from today’s 100 Seeds of oy creative wellness: the “Girl in Meditation” was painted by one of the school girls during the creative session that followed our Guided Meditation.
She was definitely still in a state of meditation and inspired! And she was not the only one!
In today’s 100 Seeds of Joy workshop almost everyone (excepting the two instructors and two girls who joined previously our creative sessions with both their parents) was new to yoga and meditation.
We were pleased to say that everyone in the room (we had various ages of boys and girls, accompanied by their parents (Mom or Dad) enjoyed the session that incorporated bits of Yoga knowledge & movement, as well a simple (sahaja) guided meditation prior to getting into the creative aspect that is always special, because it was created by our 100 Seeds of Joy team.
Our 100 Seeds of Joy team was represented today by Ioana and Isabelle, because tomorrow we have a Free and Public creative meditation seminar and potluck! Check our Calendar of Events!
The Moment of Perfect Alignment that showed How Wise and Connected are our Burlington Kids
Today’s our “Gratitude Meditation” workshop included interactive moments that have proven to be truly special!
One of this represented a moment of perfect alignment with the core of our 100 Seeds of Joy’s self-realization meditation workshops and events offered by the Halton volunteers from Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network, aiming for one’s inner peace and connection within, as well with each other, and of course with Mother Nature!
After we explained what Yoga means and other Yoga & meditation elements, in a simple way for Kids to connect as well, we asked the kids, “What do you want to be?!”
A little girl, not older than 9 years old, answered sweetly: “Everything!”
Hyelim brought her two daughters to the Library. All three were so happy with the 100 Seeds of Joy workshop that the Mom asked to take a photo with her girls and the meditation instructor.
All photos and videoclips are shared upon receiving the expressed agreement from this workshop’s participants.

“Me and my daughter attended the session in the library.
It was welcoming, full of warmth.
An informative introduction to meditation was helpful.
The “rock art” session was enjoyable too!
It is definitely something I would look forward to participate with her again.
It seems like another tool that can help her with a healthy emotional state.
Thanks!”
You may realize how Greatly Appreciated are these 100 Seeds of Joy workshops offered all year long (winter time too!) in our Burlington community: Read the Notes 🙂
Our creative meditation workshops were created to reach out and help the families that need mental and emotional support, as well to help family members to connect with each other. These days the mental health issues represent a huge problem that is widespread and we felt that Joy experienced through Inner Peace meditation focused on one’s self-realization is much needed; our programs are successful as we have 20 years of offering “Cool Kids and Parents” creative wellness programs in the Halton region for a variety of community partners.

One Family One Rock and Create in Meditation and Harmony with One Another
The 100 Seeds of Joy creative “Gratitude meditation” workshop was such a successful experience for all families that were in attendance. We had families from various backgrounds with kids of various ages.
Somehow, the guided sahaja yoga meditation workshop that started the session acted as the “great equalizer”, because it brought everyone to such a peaceful state that we all witnessed the complete harmony manifested among the respective family members and the positive energy in the room!
The joy of creativity and warm togetherness were palpable!
We captured the photos of a Mom & Son painting together their “family rock”, as well a Dad & Daughter doing the same for their respective “family rock”
We Thank our amazing Librarians for hosting this event! Stay tuned for the Next ones in Halton!

Being part of this Gratitude meditation workshop made my day. It was a gloomy day outside but coming to this event made it nice. So happy that all present experienced connecting to the peace with their family.
My girls came home with so much joy. They’d enjoyed the meditation and the rock painting. As adults we often think that children won’t be able to understand the art of meditation or won’t be able to hold their focus. But when I see children in such workshops, I’m amazed at how each of these little ones not just meditate, but do it so beautifully!
I’m grateful for these family oriented sessions. Kudos to the library and the meditation instructors.
What a beautiful way to reinstate the scattered attention of children these days!
it is not easy for children to do an acitivity they know nothing about that too after being at school all day! But the seamless way these sessions are conducted meet the needs of the children participating and faciliate that ease into them. The meditation not only brings relaxation but enlightens and nourishes their attetion so that they can pour themselves into creating an art piece.
Regular practice of such meditations can truly help the children find their joyful selves again. Through their inner connection they can create such beauty within their emotional and mental state and also outside!
Amazing creativity. Beautiful colours. Bravo Sahaj team.
I can attest that this very special meditation style helped me to be more emotionally balanced as a human. The creativity definitely is awakened and tied in effortlessly with our ability to try our hand at artful projects. The families really benefitted from these library programs offered by 100 seeds of joy! The artwork and smiles are great works of genuine inspiration.
Meditation is not only meant for grown ups but it is for all the age groups and for all kind of personalities too and sahajyoga Halton proved it.Kudos to all volunteers for their remarkable efforts for making all the events of meditation ♂️ family event,which makes parents and kids to come more closer to build a healthy society.
