The quality of our teaching depends on the quality of our presence. With the many demands of teaching, we can feel like we’re constantly running and reacting. Mindfulness practice gives us space to breathe through our day, to learn ways to establish your teaching presence with openness and kindness, to care for yourself and to help your classroom to be a more loving, joyful and peaceful place.

In this practical workshop we will explore:

• the foundations of mindfulness
• principles of sharing mindfulness with children
• three mindfulness practices to help us come home to ourselves, feel grounded and offer kindness to ourselves

This experiential workshop will be a mix of sharing about the practice, exploring for ourselves and then reflecting on our experience in the group. You will also receive mindfulness resources to support your practice and also to share with students.
