Childrens Project.....Any Ideas??? Advice and Input MOST welcome!!!!

HI: My Name is Sarah ; My background is in Art Therapy and Occupational Therapy . I also have a love for healing modalities and working with Energy. I have worked substantially with children in many areas and I have a love and passion for working and connecting with them as the harbingers of the future.

I have a concept for a project... it is in its infancy stage!!
:-)

This is a centre for the 'Spiritual and Creative' development of children and Young People, within a large city in the UK. The main aims of this centre would be in assisting children to re-connect with the truth of who they are . And the emphasis firmly placed on the Spirit of the Child. I would like to initially offer this service for children who are experiencing difficulty either emotionally, psychologically or physically , offering progressive counselling, therapeutic techniques and healing modalities. Expanding this out to encompass all children and young people, offering services in meditation techniques, healing attunements, creative expressive groups,/putting together exhibitions, raising confidence , self esteem and assertiveness, managing energy , working with intuition and Spirit guides/Angels etc etc An emphasis would be in working in partnership with the child or young person enabling them to fully realise their worth as teachers and co-creators of this world.

The sessions would be through groupwork and individual one-to-one encounters dependant upon the needs of the child. It is my goal to place together a team of specialists who all have the same focus on connecting with the True Spirit of the Child; whilst having professional credibility and an empowering framework to create true change and healing within. It is also my goal to have children and young peoples'; input into the development of this project both initially and through ongoing partnership.

I also envision an educational aspect of this project in terms of outreach and raising awareness, of working more creatively and honouring the spirit of the child , within other organisations for example mainstream education, social services and youth work. Currently this project is in the very early stages of development and I am looking into seeking charitable status and funding : for example the Arts Council in the UK. I want this project to be Non-profit, taking into account running and upkeep, costs and wages.

Does ANYONE have any ideas about raising funding....business skills or general input...are you actually doing something similar already?? Do you have your own ideas for creating something very similar? sharing may be extremely valuable in bringing this into being ...I would SO SO SO love to hear!!!

The CHILDREN of today ARE the FUTURE of this world. They have honoured us here with their presence and yet all to often they become too immersed in the confusion we have created. .

LOVE, LIGHT and INFINITE BLESSINGS to ALL.. Sarah XOXOXXOXOX
