About the Course
Embrace the transformative power of the present moment with our course, "Be Here NOW! Mindfulness in the School Building & Beyond." In this comprehensive program, participants will be equipped with mindfulness techniques, empowered with the will to use them in order to elevate their ability to live fully in the present moment. Exemplifying mindfulness isn't just a personal journey – it's a catalyst for positive change in the lives of the students they support. As participants cultivate their own mindfulness practices, the ripple effect will be felt in the classroom and beyond, fostering an environment of focus, resilience, and well-being for both educators and students.
