This session will be a mindfulness-based opportunity to enjoy some guided self-care. What can happen when we take the time to slow down, gather with a like-minded community and rise into the next breath with awareness and intention? We will gather in a circle and practice mindfulness together, as we create a collective understanding of this very popular topic of mindfulness in education. This experiential session will offer insight while allowing for conversations with colleagues through deep listening practices that build bridges of empathy and connection. While we will have a conversation about what mindfulness can look like in a classroom, this session is focused more on self care and direct experience than imparting content.
