    Meristem | Awaken the Possible!

    Hey Everyone reminder we have our move conference coming up in a month. The theme is “moving with moments of opportunity.” We will be exploring this them through a variety of movement experiences. I'll be dusting off my orienteering coaching hat and teaching two sessions on the basics of orienteering and how those skills transfer and apply to other areas of life. If you don't know what orienteering is drop by my sessions! Its going to be a great weekend with some world renowned teachers. Its for anyone who wants to learn and grow using movement as a means. Its the basis of what we do at Meristem. Especially if your a teacher, home school parent, like the outdoors, do therapeutic work, the workshops will have really good nuggets to take away. As always you get to spend three days on the beautiful Meristem campus and eat delicious food made by our cafe! For more info reach. #meristem #meristemmoveconfrence

    Did you know that experts estimate that as many as 85% of people with autism or other neurodiversity are not working? Hands-on learning early is a great way to completely turn that number around? We learned recently that 90% of youth with autism who had a job during high school also had a job in their 20s. This is why we are so excited to be a part of STEP, where we match high school and college students with disabilities with paid work experience and job readiness training. A whole support network is behind the program, thank you to Goodwill Industries International and Golden Sierra for being partners in this impactful program in Placer and El Dorado counties and for California Department of Rehabilitation for facilitating STEP across California!
