This youth-led experience brought together art, nature, and affirmations in a way that felt natural and joyful. Children created paintings, watered plants while speaking life-giving affirmations, and learned calming breathwork for moments when they feel overwhelmed.

The session was guided in both English and Spanish, honoring the bilingual makeup of the group and making room for shared language and mutual learning. I supported the session while allowing the youth to lead creatively. It was gentle, playful, and affirming. It is a clear example of what community-rooted wellness looks like at Pure Heart.
