Mindfulness Presentations for Teachers
The best way to integrate Mindfulness into the school community is when teachers have an understanding of the practice and feel confident to lead their students in short daily practices.
I offer presentation for staff meetings, PD days, school council meetings and special programming - to train teachers and to speak at evening school talks/discussions.
