Phase 1: Foundations
In the first three episodes of Banjo’s journey, we focus on building the inner world. Before we can explore the mountains, we must learn to find our center.
Episodes 1–3 Focus:
- Stopping & Listening: Developing the patience to hear the world around us.
- Deep Breathing: Using the breath to calm the nervous system when emotions run high.
- Grounding: Learning to feel the earth beneath our hooves and stay present.
The "Foundations" Tool
Children will learn the "Anchor" technique—a simple physical reminder to breathe and stay calm during moments of big frustration or fear.
