Hi Reader, I hope you're well and enjoying this lovely weather! I wanted to check in to hear if you’d be interested in one of our July Thrive Summer Intensives! We have some amazing clinicians running them at Thrive Outside this summer! Would any of these be a fit for your child? Please let me know, since we are hoping to get a few more enrolled to round out the group! All of these run from Monday-Friday from 10:00-2:00 at a local outdoor natural area: -2 more spots open in July 8-12, Yoga and Mindfulness in the Great Outdoors (Beaverton) (Ages 5-8) -3 spots in July 15-19 Yoga and Mindfulness in the Great Outdoors (Beaverton) (Ages 7-11) -3 spots in the July 29 to August 2, 2024: Interoception Outside! (Milwaukie) (ages 5-10) There will be plenty of student volunteers from Pacific University’s OT program, so the adult-child ratio will be excellent. If your child could use some low-key outdoor semi-structured time with peers and therapists, this could be a great fit. Let me know if you’d like to register or want more information!
