Plus, knitting is fashionable again.
Sheep's wool is not only intended for clothing, it would also be used in our garden as mulch and fertilizer.

The donkey motivates the children/young people to go hiking for longer distances. On the donkey tour you have a hiking companion at your side and can ride the donkey with a saddle or rest on it or load your luggage onto its back with a packing rack or saddle bags as a means of transport.
To guarantee the safety of children, it would be a donkey that is used to being ridden to go on a donkey hike with the children.

These would be held in the meditation house.
In the meditation house, the children's village children/young people as well as adults from outside would have the opportunity to to experience, among other things, guided and non-guided meditations. Using guided and unguided meditations would be our goal, oneselfto observe mindfully, to be self-aware to become.

At the beginning and end of the meditation, würde a singing bowl gently struck, during the fantasy journey, sometimes relaxing music is played. When the children hear this sound at the beginning, they know that the fantasy journey or meditation is beginning and they should no longer speak to each other.
Meditation will become a daily part of everyday life in Phoenix Kam.
There is also a Snoezelen room intended for smaller children so that they also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the meditation relaxation options.
The healing power of sounds with overtone instruments and mantras
The children/teenagers would experience an inner journey with various overtone instruments and mantras. Here the children should be led into a wonderful world of sound. With the overtone instruments, the children experience rest and relaxation.
Pythagoras had already discovered the overtones using the monochord and the connections between mathematics and music before the birth of Christ.
The sound instruments are very soothing sounds that quickly calm the minds of babies/children/teenagers and lead to relaxation. This allows the self-healing powers to be activated. Children/teenagers who find it difficult to relax can achieve and feel this state solely through the sound effect of the vibrations.
The sound cradle, which is moved and rocked, also has a very calming, harmonizing and strengthening effect in the relaxation/snoezelen room. The vibrations can be felt everywhere in the body.
Different types of massage
Therapies at Phoenix Kam would include various types of massage for babies, children and teenagers.
Many people ask themselves whether a baby or child massage makes any sense at all, since children's bones, muscles and tendons are not yet fully developed and are still growing. There is no reason not to massage babies.
In many cultures, such as India, it is traditional to massage newborns. The massage process is passed down from generation to generation - usually from mother to daughter. The main goal of a massage is relaxation and stress reduction.
There are types of direct massage, such as the Swedish or also called classic massage, such as sports massage, cranio-sacral massage, shiatsu massage, Ayurveda massage, i.e. the direct contact between the body area to be treated and the hands of the masseur.
Then there are types of reflex massage that focus on certain reflex points on the body, ie every organ has corresponding reflex points on the body. In hand, ear or foot reflexology massage, skin receptors are stimulated by pressure and touch, for example connective tissue massage, wellness massage and acupressure massage in order to balance the energy meridian system.
Why massage babies?
The massages in Phoenix Kam would be carried out by the educator with appropriate training. Massages would be adapted to the needs of the children and young people.
Rarely is a child touched for as long and as lovingly as during a massage. This skin contact during the massage helps to build trust and a relationship, and the bond between the educator and the baby is strengthened.
During the first four weeks of life, a baby massage should only be a stroking massage with gentle pressure on the stomach or back, and the baby will experience affection, security and relaxation. This increases the baby's sense of well-being, stimulates its senses, supports its mental development and promotes its motor skills.
Why are massages so important for our children and young people today?
Physical contact, affection, security and attention are very important for children's development and psychological stability.
Current studies and research confirm that many children and young people report stress, nervousness, hecticness, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep and sudden stabbing pains. As children reach school age, the pressure to perform and tension in children increase. Massage offers children an opportunity to relax. Massage has a relaxing and calming effect not only on a physical level, but also on a mental level.
When massaging children, it is important to have a good understanding of human nature and pay particular attention to interpreting their gestures and facial expressions. Children cannot communicate very well, for example if they do not feel comfortable during the massage.
The positive aspects of massage are also evident in older children. The psychological effects of skin contact during massage are stronger in children than in adults. Children who come from difficult living conditions and have been separated from their parents in particular experience attention, closeness, security and relaxation during massage.
The massage helps children to relax more easily. It also relieves tension in the muscles and promotes blood circulation. In addition to relaxation, massage contributes a lot to children's personal development and motor improvements. Physiotherapeutic treatment can also be supplemented with massages, but it goes much further.
As with massage for adults, the gentle touch ensures the release of relaxation hormones, such as endorphins, which trigger a feeling of happiness, thus reducing stress and increasing well-being.
Massage also works for teenagers
It is becoming increasingly common for children and young people to be unable to cope with everyday stress. Lack of exercise, one-sided leisure activities, learning and time pressure, peer pressure all weigh heavily on young people's shoulders. This results in permanent tension in the body, which can, for example, cause spontaneous stabbing pains. Depression, tension headaches and tiredness are often the result of this for young people, and it also reduces their performance and they are sometimes aggressive and unable to concentrate.
During puberty, the time of self-discovery, young people would like to get by without their parents. Massage can help them to relax and sleep better. Just like children, young people need attention, care, closeness, appreciation, security and relaxation, as well as other positive aspects that they can experience through massage.
Using various massage techniques, tense or hardened muscles are loosened and tensions, blockages and pain are dissolved or alleviated. Foot and hand massages and foot reflexology massages are also suitable for this, as well as for growing pains and difficulty concentrating. These massages are said to have an intensive effect on the autonomic nervous system and the immune system is strengthened. The self-healing powers are activated and the children or young people regain balance.
This means that the well-being and performance of young people improves and they perceive themselves better. The energy flows freely throughout the body again and the young person can regain new strength.
Auf unserer Ausstellungswiese, würden die Kinder und Jugendlichen einmal monatlich ihre Werke
aus unserem Kunsthaus gegenseitig ausstellen. Damit erkennen sie ihre eigenen Werte und was sie mit ihren Fähigkeiten und Talenten vollbracht haben, dass noch zusätzlich den Selbstwert der Kinder und Jugendlichen stärkt.

A library, with books from the classic and alternative worlds, as well as one Teatime corner, is also part of our vision. she loads children and young peoplea to inform and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, that they so urgently need. From time to time we would invite an author or reader over to read their own books to the children. The children/young people would also present their own written texts, poems, fairy tales, plays or similar and could present them publicly, which in turn benefits their self-esteem.
A theater stage is in the art house planned, where the children could act out their own written or usual plays. The children/young people could let their creativity run wild there.

to assess and use them well for health benefits.
By motivating each other, the participants find it easier for certain Children/young people
to move more easily. Gentle exercises support this process.
Exercise makes you happy and helps prevent chronic illnesses and depression in children and young people. If they exercise regularly, it strengthens their body awareness and their personal perception. Sport also reduces aggression, such as anger and hatred towards their own body. It frees their minds from negative thoughts, feelings of guilt and shame.
Swimming with therapeutic methods in Phoenix Kam
Swimming lessons in Phoenix Kam would be offered by a swimming instructor/swimming therapist. It is advisable to support children in learning to swim and to familiarize them with this sport at an early age. This activity would help children and young people regain their joy in life and a sense of lightness.
The aim of therapeutic swimming for children and young people would be to reduce their fears and overcome their lack of confidence using the special properties of the element of water in our swimming pool. Swimming in a protected space such as a swimming pool can help to positively influence body awareness and increase self-confidence.
The element of water also generally has a calming effect on the body, soul and mind and can therefore reduce pent-up aggression such as anger and the everyday stress of children. Regular training has been proven to have positive effects on the cardiovascular system, immune system, lung function and the psyche.
Swimming gives babies, children and young people a completely new body awareness. It promotes physical development and strengthens mental abilities. Gross and fine motor skills are stimulated. Because swimming requires the coordination of complex movements, swimming promotes children's cognitive abilities and endurance. Swimming also strengthens muscles and the immune system, supports the sense of balance and helps to minimize drowning in the water if a dangerous situation were to arise. This improves safety in the water.
The water in the swimming pool would be cleaned without chemicals and treated using established alternative methods to prevent skin allergies, red eyes, respiratory problems, etc. from occurring in babies, children and young people.
Sport also helps children and young people to regulate their stress levels.
Exercise not only keeps them fit, it also has a positive effect on their self-confidence. It also promotes their cognitive and social development as well as their coordination, i.e. the ability of children to learn to control their movements and to use them in a targeted and conscious manner. The stimulus-response patterns that have been acquired through stress-inducing habits are interrupted and can be replaced by present, conscious action. The important thing here is that the body calms down again .
Sport also helps children/adolescents regulate stress. Exercise not only keeps you fit, it also has a positive effect on your self-confidence. It also promotes their cognitive and social development as well as their coordination, i.e. the ability of children to learn to control their movements and to use them deliberately and consciously. The stimulus-response patterns acquired through stress-producing habits are interrupted and can thus be replaced by present, conscious action. The important thing is that the body calms down again.
Even children/young people who are less physically able experience success in sport, such as movement exercises such as mini workouts (jumping jacks, squats, push-ups, etc.), Pilates (stretching exercises) and ABC Kids Yoga such as animal positions, etc. All of this contributes to good body awareness and good posture, and it is also about tension and relaxation of your muscles.
