“I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for my family. I never thought I would see him do something like this!”
“After months of trying to get my son to talk about his stress, he called me up after the workshop and said he wanted to talk about it!”
in 2011, Z Puppets partnered with DSAM to present a series of arts & mindfulness workshops to adults with Down Syndrome. Our first experience adapting Monkey Mind Pirates for adults with special needs turned out to be a much larger success than even we anticipated.
Here are the lyrics for their heavy metal-inspired Legend of Calm:
Squeezing smoothies from a mango
Peach and Orange dancing tango
Souls in the wind on Jupiter’s ring
Music and dancing makes us sing!
Calm is what I like to do
Everyone likes calm in their life
We are the calming crew
Come and join our ship! (Total wreck..)
Pizza baking in an oven
Smell of gravy is what I’m lovin’
The sound of deer eating grass
Graceful, pretty, kinda fast
Calm is what I like to do
Everyone likes calm in their life
We are the calming crew
Come and join our ship! (Total wreck..)
I listen to the water drip, drip, drip
An ice cold pepsi I sip, sip, sip.
I like to eat some garlic bread
And sip sprite. . . in my bed!
Calm is what I like to do
Everyone likes calm in their life
We are the calming crew
Come and join our ship! (Total wreck..)
Calm in a voice that our souls request
The legend of calm requires our best
Soldiers marching to a beat
Cool it down, in the heat.
Calm is what I like to do
Everyone likes calm in their life
We are the calming crew
Come and join our ship! (Total wreck..)
