Creating Mindful Communities has been designed to offer  well-being tools to students, parents, educators, and any one in need of a more balanced life.   

Studies find that learning mindfulness benefits participants in terms of improved attention, emotion regulation, behavior in school, empathy and understanding of others, social skills, test anxiety, and stress. 

Our 9-week, 18-week, or year-long program  based on the Mindful Schools curriculum  trains participants' ability to be self aware and focus. It offers strategies to create pauses   during which thoughtful responses can replace impulsive reactions.

Combining mindfulness practices with movements, we    pay attention to the body, the mind, and the emotions.  Once aware of our own feelings and the way it impacts us, we are ready to interact with empathy and compassion within the framework of   Non-Violent Communication.

​ The goals  are to provide participants with concrete tools for:
  • Managing   difficult  and strong emotions
  • Orienting and “anchoring” to internal and external environments as a way to engage the    parasympathetic nervous system
  • Using breathing in ways to promote nervous system regulation
  • Exploring nature as a way to cultivate balance and harmony​

Some examples of how we will use mindfulness   are noticing and naming our feelings during specific exercises, using mindfulness of breathing before test taking to calm anxiety and improve focus, or pausing when feeling frustrated or impatient.
