Workshop 2018

The idea is simple: mindfulness can improve overall well-being, leading to a more engaged and fulfilled life. Practicing mindfulness also provides the tools necessary to deal with adverse events and traumas, and can improve a person’s health by relieving stress and improving sleep. Participants will see how an elementary school embraced the social and emotional learning of its students and staff by teaching mindfulness techniques to enhance the entire culture of the building. As part of this Action Lab, participants will actively engage in simple mindfulness techniques that can be implemented in and out of the classroom.
