A Calm, Creative Summer Camp for Sensitive and Neurodivergent Kids

Limited to 6 children | Ages 5-10

Does your child shine brightest in small groups, with quiet moments to create, reflect, and just be themselves?

The Calm Creative Camp is a week-long, gentle summer camp designed especially for emotionally sensitive and neurodivergent children who flourish in soothing, imaginative spaces.

Led by an experienced meditation guide and artist (that’s me!), this camp combines art-making, sensory play, gentle meditation, and calming rituals to support emotional wellbeing and self-expression.

Personalised support throughout from a Special Needs Assistant

This camp is especially supportive for:

• Neurodivergent kids (including autistic, ADHD, sensory-sensitive, or highly intuitive children)

• Kids who thrive in small, emotionally-attuned spaces where they are truly seen

• A safe, soft space for only 6 children

• Daily creative art projects using beautiful, high-quality materials

• Guided meditations and movement designed to support emotional regulation

• Outdoor nature time (weather permitting)

• Grounding rituals and story-based visualizations

🌿 Nature Inside & Out: A Six-Week After-School Club Rooted in Play, Nature & Creativity
Tuesdays | 3:30 PM – 5 PM
For children aged 4–10 | Led by Artist Tricia & Therapeutic Play Practitioner Rachel Worthington.

Join us for a nourishing six-week after-school journey where we gently bring the magic of nature indoors and head out into the woods whenever the weather allows.

Nature Inside & Out is a slow-paced, grounding and joy-filled club for children aged 4–10, designed to help them unwind after the school day and reconnect to themselves through creative nature-based play.

Each session is a soft landing after a busy day, a space where children can just be. Together, we’ll explore nature through the senses, make beautiful things with our hands, and follow the natural flow of the afternoon whether that means sand tray therapy, weaving with willow or sitting quietly listening to the birds.

If the weather is kind, we’ll spend part of each session in the woods—building willow tipis, making mini habitats, noticing seasonal changes or simply lying back and listening to the wind in the trees. Inside, we’ll continue the magic with art practices that might include visual Art, crafts, natural painting, mandala-making, or crafting with gathered treasures.

At the heart of it all is a sense of freedom, connection and deep acceptance. There’s no pressure to perform or "do it right"—just space to explore, create and be fully themselves. With a therapeutic play practitioner supporting each session, we hold space gently for children’s feelings, friendships and unique ways of engaging.

🌼 What the Sessions Look Like:

• Nature-Based Exploration indoors and out: from woodland wanders and sensory games to nature listening and sand tray therapy

• Art & Making – creative sessions using natural materials: painting, weaving, clay, storytelling through art

• Time in the Woods (weather permitting) building tipis, collecting treasures, grounding play and imaginative freedom under the trees

• Calm, Grounded Transitions soft rhythms that help kids decompress and shift gears after a structured school day

• Child-Led Flow some days are lively and muddy, some are quiet and dreamy and all are welcome

🍃 Why Families Love It:

• Freedom to Be Themselves every child is accepted exactly as they are, with no pressure or expectations

• Friendship & Bonding shared play, trust, and creativity help children connect in gentle and joyful ways

• Supports Emotional Wellbeing – nature, play, and creativity offer grounding, soothing tools for big feelings

• Fuels Imagination & Curiosity – open-ended play invites wonder and creative exploration

• Nurtures the Whole Child – emotionally, socially creatively, and spiritually

• Held with Care by facilitators who are experienced, compassionate, and deeply child-centered

This isn’t just an after-school club—it’s a weekly exhale, a little wild freedom and a creative, nurturing space for your child to feel safe, seen and inspired.

🌕 Meditation Course with Tommy & Tricia – Autumn Series

Calm Your Mind | Connect to Your Soul | Live a Happier Life

Join us for a nourishing and uplifting weekly meditation gathering every Tuesday evening from 7–8pm at the Hummingbird Art & Meditation Center, nestled in the peaceful grounds of Collis Sandes House, Tralee, Co. Kerry.

This intimate group is open to adults of all backgrounds, and no meditation experience is needed. Just bring your open heart and willingness to pause, breathe, and reconnect.

🌀 What to Expect

Each session is co-led by Tricia and Tommy, combining guided meditation, spiritual insight, and group sharing to help you find more balance, peace, and clarity in your life.

• We begin by grounding the body, calming the mind, and releasing the stress of the day.

• Then Tricia leads a guided meditation, inspired by:

  • The current moon cycle

  • Collective energy shifts

  • Her deep work with the Mystic Masters Oracle Deck

These meditations help you tune in and listen to what your soul needs most right now. Is it more rest? More connection? More joy or creativity? Whatever is calling for your attention will often gently reveal itself during the practice.

You'll also draw a Mystic Masters oracle card each week for added insight and support.

After the meditation, Tommy offers a 20-minute wisdom talk – empowering each person in the group with practical advice and spiritual encouragement. He helps you see where you can strengthen your meditation practice, both in the group and at home, and where growth is possible in your daily life.

Tommy’s guidance is always grounded and heartfelt, and it often sparks beautiful conversations. The group – a warm mix of both men and women – openly shares experiences, challenges, and reflections. We all learn from each other, and each session reminds us of the compassion, wisdom, and humanity we all carry.

🌈 Why Join?

• Find deep rest and calm

• Gain spiritual insight and personal clarity

• Connect with a supportive community

• Learn simple, colorful meditation practices you can continue at home

• Be guided by two experienced and heart-led facilitators
