Welcome to the Inner Calm Quest club – where education meets fun and experiential learning! Our carefully created curriculum consists of 30 engaging, one-hour classes designed to empower students with essential life skills, fostering resilience, positivity, and self-awareness.
What is the club content?
- The club was designed to cover 1-hour classes for 30 weeks.
- For each class, there are instructions for the student leader to run each class.
- Each class is research-based and covers key topics like neuroscience, positive psychology, behavior pattern recognition (how does the amount of sleep affect how we feel?), etc.
- Through dynamic workshops, interactive activities, and hands-on exercises, students will learn stress management, focus enhancement, activities to excite the parasympathetic nervous system (calm), and fun activities like laughing yoga. This is all to provide tools and techniques to cultivate their inner calm.
- No cost to the school, this is my effort to give back to the community
