Creative Nomads helped local moms come together and practice self care this Valentine’s Day with their “Mindfulness With Mom” program. The session is a social emotional series that centers the practice of self care and personal well-being in order to better navigate managing their family and the world. Led by Executive Director Kayenecha Daugherty, Creative Nomads works with academic partners to provide tools to moms across Baltimore and beyond. This particular session focused on stressing less, with a facilitated discussion and the creation of sugar scrubs from scratch as a hands-on experience.
