Emotional Resilience Workshop Facilitator

At Life Project Education in Ojochal, Costa Rica, I worked with three different age groups of students (7-8, 9-10, 11-13 year olds), leading them in discussing a wide range of emotions and helping them learn how to reflect, feel, and express themselves in an empowering way. As a result of the workshops, students mastered the skills to cope with difficult emotions and stay grounded through their emotional storms. They described their experience as transformational and ranked the workshops as a favorite class.

For each workshop we focused on a specific emotion and engaged in related activities with that emotion. For example: for the Curiosity workshop we listened to both sides of a conflict and sought common ground, fostering empathy and understanding.
