Inamojo with Kathryn Children's Well Being Program 2.36

Inamojo™ offers wellbeing programs for children of elementary /primary school age.

Our Mission is to help equip children with life-tools and life-skills for life-long wellbeing. Inamojo programs nurture creativity and
imagination through play while addressing all levels of healthy developmental growth: physical, cognitive, emotional and social.

The ever-accelerating pace of change in the world means that the children of today in some ways have more opportunities than ever before – but they also face greater challenges. Over-stimulation, over-medication, family fragmentation and dietary issues are all contributing to the increasing incidence of health-related disorders (physical, emotional and mental) among our children. Diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder are on the rise.

Obesity and eating disorders are endemic. The negative impacts of bullying are amplified dramatically by new technologies such as social media. Our children can too often be left feeling confused, anxious, isolated and fearful, with no real sense of how to navigate their way through life. Inamojo wellbeing programs have been created to help address these issues, giving young children a set of helpful tools and skills with which to deal with life’s challenges as they grow.

Weaving original music and stories with mindful practices such as meditation, breath awareness, expressive movement and art, inamojo wellbeing programs nurture children on inner journeys of self-enquiry, self-discovery, and self-awareness.

Inamojo is based on the eastern integrative ‘map’ of the chakra system, together with Jungian psychology and a variety of contemporary Early Childhood Development theories. These foundations are not discussed explicitly in inamojo classes, obviously,but they underpin and drive the key developmental themes in each class: trusting
instincts; emotional expression; self-esteem; compassion; communication; intuition and imagination; and self-awareness.

Inamojo follows the same format each week (story > dance > art > discussion), and each class covers a different theme and learning experience. By using the same format,
children become familiar with the class structure and can move further into their own experiences.

The first 9-week program, a series of classes called "Naga's Curse", has been created for children between the ages of 5 and 8.
