Project Summary:
The Blossom Project
The Blossom project was born out an intensely energetic discussion during a Toronto Gathering for the Alliance for a New Humanity. The project is the brainchild of Kim Klingler, a Toronto mother whose passion is helping children achieve their highest potential and in so doing, change the world. Recognizing the immense potential in children, Kim began with one Toronto school, hoping to inspire the children, the "roots of society" with heart based wisdom and experiential tools. The program was a success and Blossom has been blooming ever since. As a mother of two young girls, it was Kim's intention to introduce preschool and elementary school children to the marvelous benefits of meditation and enable them to experience the magical truth of our interconnectedness. The children readily embraced the belief "that peace was not to be found in a fuzzy blanket, but rather, it was inside of them waiting to be chosen". This discovery enables children to recognize that they hold the power of change, to transform our world. “It is very inspiring to watch twenty grade one children sit in meditation for 15 minutes, when most parents can’t get their kids to sit for five minutes.” Kim says
These children are not only living the change, they have also become the ambassadors for change. An entire community of change has been created through the children, and the project now has a variety of mentors comprised of mothers, fathers, community leaders and retired elders who bring a wealth of wisdom to the program. The project is growing and Kim’s heart is rewarded with every flicker of realization in each child’s heart.
