A WORKSHOP PLAN
Welcome
We’re so glad you’re planning to use the Glow resources within your community.
This workshop is designed to be used within parenting groups, library and galleries, XXXXXXXXXXX
Glow is a digital subscription of creative
and connective moments for parents
and carers of new babies.
Glow has been designed for pre-walking babies - and while some of the experiences might work for older children, the focus should be on providing an opportunity for parents and carers to connect in a new way with their infant.
We like to begin all our events with an Acknowledgement of Country
If you don’t knpw which country. If you’d like to make yours - you can used the Country
Before starting GLOW, please look around you and identify anything that could be harmful and take appropriate action. As with all activities with you and your child, please only do what feels safe and comfortable to you.
Today will be meditative. We will slow down, notice and explore together with our little ones.
Finding, stretching, meditating on everyday rituals.
We will be offering invitations to you and your little one today. Take what works for you both and let everything else wash over you.
The most important thing is to spend time connecting with your baby. Being together.
They might laugh, cry, sleep, shout they may need to feed, or crawl around, they may like to stay close.
All of this is perfectly ok.
As with all activities with you and your child, please only do what feels safe and comfortable to you.
We would like to read some words to you now, that we hope can guide your experience today.

Humming twinkle twinkle
Twinkle, twinkle
Place one hand on your heart
Notice your breath as you breathe in and out
And another breath, in and out.
And another.
And another.
Slide 3: Change slide
Rest your hand on your baby’s stomach.
Notice their breath.
In and out.
And another.
And another.
Now, one hand on your heart, and the other hand on your child.
Both breathing together.
Both noticing each other.
