As parents, we are the healers and rhythm keepers of the home. We create a sanctuary for ourselves and our children, and hold space for quiet and magic. These are the ideas behind Elizabeth Antonia’s Early Riser concept. Early Riser is for those who face the yawn of the day with a newborn or toddler and don't know what to do. It is for those who rush through bedtime and are looking for a shift in perspective. Early Riser can help you pinpoint the difficult moments of the day and find creative ways to turn them into loving, consistent rituals. This workshop is focused on autumn and will include songs, rhymes, and the creation of a weekly rhythm wheel. It will inspire parents to explore their identity and establish a fresh view of daily life in the home and the family.

$20
