This week we are joined by therapeutic harpist, Shalom Wiebe, who will treat caregivers and babies to a “soundbath”. During this restorative music session parents are invited to silently rest, relax, meditate, journal, stretch, or practice yoga or mindfulness with your little one next to you – or just snuggle with your baby – while therapeutic harpist Shalom creates a soothing blanket of sound with her harp.
Using a combination of gentle songs and improvised music, Shalom will provide a unique therapeutic musical experience designed to calm the nervous system, promote rest and open space to reflect and reconnect with oneself.
If you are able, please bring items to help you feel comfortable while lying on the floor such as a yoga mat, pillow, and blanket.
Learn more about Shalom’s practice on her website!

today we’ll be joined by Olivia Yung of the SFU Language Learning & Development Lab, which is a part of a broader research team known as the SFU Child Research Group. Their research focus is on infant language development, how children acquire first and subsequent languages, and how children’s environments shape their language learning. It’s common for parents to have a lot of questions about their children’s language journeys, and Olivia will speak on this topic and answer questions.
