Nicole Rank - We Are Magic

HeARTfelt Mindfulness for Kids (Age 6-12) - An enchanting workshop for children to playfully explore mindfulness “If we want to make peace, we must begin with the children.” Mother Teresa

Children are pure positive energy. With a wildness in their hearts they are still deeply connected to nature, they instinctively explore and approach their environment with curiosity. The soul is wild. Nature is wild. Nothing in nature is structured and appears the same, yet we are teaching our children to follow the rules and not colour outside the lines. We are creative by nature, but instead learn to react, imitate and act “normal”. Especially sensitive children are quickly overwhelmed by nowadays pace, noise and structure.

In this enchanting workshop we will playfully explore the world of mindfulness. With the support of the fairies we will harness the power of the elements and the magic of the beautiful land of Lisnavagh to remind ourselves that sensitivity is indeed a superpower! We will enjoy magical crafts, learn about the power of our minds through drama games and even learn how to fly with a special poetry meditation!

I am Nicole, an accredited Creative Mindfulness for Kids practitioner and holistic teacher and Master of Arts. I am a patient, kind, caring and creative professional with 13 years of experience as a public school teacher in Germany. I believe deeply in the healing power of mindfulness, Love, poetry and creation.

In my HeARTfelt Mindfulness Training for children, I combine the Creative Mindfulness for Kids method (by Louise Shanagher) which includes crafting, meditation and mindfulness, with drama and improv theatre games, movement, creative writing exercises and much more. This colourful tapestry intertwines mind, body and soul to offer a holistic learning approach with which the children get the chance to playfully and mindfully explore their own magic and superpowers.

I’m especially passionate about helping sensitive souls embrace their gifts as a superpower in a world that is not used to welcoming all feelings. My work is characterized by a respectful, mindful, non-judgemental, playful and creative approach to helping children and adults overcome self-doubts, fears and achieve their goals. I am enthusiastic about supporting children on their way to adulthood as well as to help adults to live authentically and to embrace their humanness. As Love-Eyes Spiritual Development, I offer online courses, Co-Creative Coaching and written guidance for the spiritual journey. I also offer in-person workshops and day-retreats in Ireland.

My poetry book “Limitless - Sharing The Wor(l)d Through The Eyes Of Love” is a book with 20 empowering poems for free use in retreats, classrooms, webinars, seminars, book clubs, online courses and other creative projects and will be released by the end of September.
