In this inspiring and interactive workshop Eliana Lopez,founder of MUKUPATI, will take you on a journey through her personal experiences as a curious mother, exploring how traditional practices from around the world nurture early learning.

Lopez will share how parents in various cultures empower their children by trusting their natural desire to grow and learn, using consistent guidance and role models as the force in teaching essential skills like potty training. In collaboration with Megan Heuer, a certified Sound Healer, you’ll also discover mindfulness techniques to reduce stress for both parents and toddlers. Heuer will introduce gentle relaxation practices that can help create a calm, supportive environment for your child as they navigate this important milestone and others.

This workshop will guide you beyond potty training, helping you embrace a broader philosophy of child development rooted in cultural wisdom, mindfulness, and love. Whether you’re starting potty training or seeking deeper connection with your little one, you’ll leave with a renewed sense of empowerment and peace.
