Serving Schools and Communities 

 

Creating Mindful Communities  offers well-being tools to students, parents, educators, and any one who is in need of a more balanced life.   

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

Our 9-week, 18-week, or year-long program  based on the Mindful Schools curriculum  train participants' ability to cultivate well-being and  awareness of the things  that need to change. Participants gain strategies to  act mindfully    while training  to let go of 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  youth and adults 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  inner resources as a way to cultivate balance and harmony​

Some examples of how we will use mindfulness   are:
-   noticing and naming our feelings during specific activities,
-   using mindfulness of breath to calm anxiety and improve focus,
- learning to pause when feeling frustrated or impatient.

​ Workshops and coaching sessions   are available  on line and in person.   

There is strength in practicing together, come, join us as we  share experiences, celebrate successes, and navigate challenges.
