Turn big feelings into stories, movement, and confidence — a three-month program for kids ages 6–12.
Tech Madness is the first quarter of our Youth Storytelling Group — an immersive, grief-aware series that helps children who are navigating loss, family change, or strong emotions. Using storytelling, character play, movement, and local community spaces, we guide kids to notice their feelings, build healthy habits, and tell their own story in ways that feel safe and fun.
