As the last days of summer give way to fall, there is something comforting about preparing for a new season.

Opening the windows to cooler air. Bringing out the cozy blankets. Gathering the last gifts of the garden. Taking a walk to notice the first changing leaves. Making time for a warm meal, a good book, or an unhurried conversation.

Preparing for fall doesn't have to mean adding more to our to-do lists. Sometimes, it's simply about making room for a different rhythm.

Make something with your hands.

Bake bread. Plant something. Paint, knit, mend, build, draw, cook—without worrying whether the result is perfect.

There’s something deeply human about turning our attention away from the screen and toward the physical world: feeling the materials, working with our hands, and watching something slowly take shape.

Not everything needs to be optimized. Some things are simply worth making. 💜

In Movement in Early Childhood: Developmental Magic? Or Nourishment?, Nancy Blanning explores the essential role movement plays in a child’s development—from running, climbing, balancing, and spinning to the simple freedom of active play.

First published in Spring 2010, the article is a reminder that some of the most important work of childhood happens while children are in motion.

In a world of constant demands, technological overload, polarization, economic uncertainty, and rising rates of anxiety, depression, and chronic illness at younger ages, how do we reclaim our capacity to adapt, regenerate, and heal?

While the work touches the soul-spiritual dimensions of these challenges, it remains deeply practical and experiential. Participants develop greater self-awareness, coherence between heart, mind, and body, and the inner strengths of faith, love, and hope, the three foundational forces of salutogenesis. There will also be group work and group exercises throughout the course, including some guided Eurythmy by Karen Derreumaux.

Join Dr. Steven M. Johnson, DO and Dr. Daciana Iancu, MD for 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙄𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 – 𝘼 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 . Drawing from Dr. Johnson’s forthcoming book and the presenters’ combined decades of clinical experience, this course guides participants into the wisdom of the heart. It cultivates practical healing capacities to recognize, navigate, and transform life’s traumatic events and stressors that often lead to anxiety, depression, pain, and illness.

Special Introductory Webinar “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜” on October 1st -- This stand-alone session introduces the foundational practices of pausing and presencing. It is valuable whether or not you enroll in the full course. 𝗘𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻!

First published in Spring 2013, Nancy Blanning’s Allowing Time explores what can unfold when children are given the time and space to develop at their own pace. More than a decade later, its message feels just as meaningful today.
