Come join us for a fun and engaging art class designed for preschoolers and their caregivers! This monthly collaboration between The Art Base and Focused Kids provides a unique opportunity for young children to explore their creativity through hands-on art activities and mindfulness practices. In a supportive, playful environment, children will explore their imagination and experience the joy of creating, while learning self-regulation and calming techniques.
Each session is a collaborative effort between The Art Base and Focused Kids and is led by experienced instructors including Rebecca Segal, a seasoned educator and mindfulness practitioner. Rebecca brings over 13 years of experience working with preschoolers and is known for her ability to blend art, movement, and mindfulness in ways that help children engage more fully in their learning process. With her background as a yoga instructor and her work in early childhood education, Rebecca fosters a space where creativity, focus, and connection flourish.
The class emphasizes a calm, nurturing atmosphere where children and caregivers alike can explore together, learn new skills, and enjoy quality time. It’s the perfect opportunity to spark creativity in your child while also developing their ability to focus, share, and express themselves.
Sign up for one or all sessions and join us for this enriching and joyful creative experience!

A sacred space to feel and express the fullness of our experience, guided by the intelligence of the breathing body.
There is a natural accumulation of stuck energy in our bodies and lives. This ceremony exists to support the movement of that buildup in service of our ability to show up to our lives in fullness.
Our breath is a remarkable tool in unlocking the vast intelligence of the body, which knows what needs to move, what needs to be released, and what needs to be cultivated.
Join us for a community ceremony that welcomes you exactly as you are.
