About Us
A Foundation of Wellness
GEN SOUL YOUTH is the first of its kind wellness program that combines mindfulness, movement, and creativity to empower the next generation. Our mission is to create a haven of peace, connection, light -- and of course, fun -- where our kids can grow up calm, connected, confident and compassionate. We aim to teach every child to find their inner "Happy Place," a foundation that they can cultivate and build upon as they travel through life.
Their "Happy Place"
What is your child’s “Happy Place”? The answer is not Disneyland! The happy place is a space within every human being. A peaceful place in the heart and soul that’s filled with joy and goodness. It’s the purest form of our authentic selves, that needs our love and nurturing to grow. It’s easy to lose sight and neglect our happy place in this fast-paced, busy world –- so it’s essential for our kids to have the time and space to care and nurture themselves.
The most important time we can schedule for our children is their “Me Time”. The more time we spend nurturing that happy place in our kids, the better off they will be -- and the better off the world will be. Let’s empower our kids to feel their inner good so they can become the next generation of leaders – leading from the soul.
GEN SOUL: THREE PILLARS
Mindfulness
MINDFULNESS is the practice of being present in the moment. Practicing mindfulness fosters a deep connection to self and to others. Children will grow to understand each other, accept each other, and learn to communicate in a peaceful, non-violent manner. Setting our intentions, reinforcing the qualities that make us a good friend, and learning to become active listeners will help kids grow up kinder and compassionate.
Movement
MOVEMENT is another key piece to the wellness puzzle. With so much going on in our world and so much pressure put on our kids as they get older, it’s important for them to release emotions and energy. Yoga, dancing, creative movement and other fitness classes all enhance wellness, by keeping kids in shape – mentally and physically.
Creativity
CREATIVITY is magic. When kids are together in a creative space, sparks fly, connections are made -- and meaning is created. Whether in a drawing, a song, a poem, or in making a new friend, kids feel good when they are free to express themselves, without judgment. And kids feel great when they are connecting with each other. Gen Soul is not about being the best singer, dancer, writer or artist – it’s about being YOU and making meaning TOGETHER.
