Mindful Leadership: A mindfulness-based professional development for all teachers, educators and administrators
Research
shows that mindfulness meditation and a mindfulness-based approach in
life enhance the well-being, physical, emotional, and mental health of
all, including, of course, practitioners, educators, and even
administrators.
These workshops introduce the research and
practices of a mindfulness-based approach in the classroom that will
help teachers and students manage their emotional and mental stress,
increasing their well-being and refreshing their energy.
They are
designed for all teachers, educators, and administrators, and will lead
the practitioners to be more mindful and compassionate individuals. Our
entire educational system needs to be more mindful and holistic--let us
begin with ourselves and our classrooms.
These workshops will
also offer practice-based strategies and techniques such as mindful
movement, meditative exercises, and sharing best practices based on
evidence from current research. They also require participants to wear
comfortable clothing, have a willingness to self-reflect and be
open-minded individuals.
This mindfulness-based professional
development course hopes to transform individuals and the classroom
climate while building positive, nurture interpersonal relationships.
The
workshop series also offers a blueprint for better living, towards
harmony and peace in the individual, community and society through
Spirituality and Mindful Leadership:
