Children’s Centered Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course
Researched for over 40 years, mindfulness, practiced over an 8-week time period has shown evidence to support an increase in compassion, awareness and concentration, decrease reactivity, provide greater emotional regulation, and improve a greater understanding and accepting of one's emotions.
This particular series will be adapted to meet the needs and interests of children 12 and under. Our children and our future generations are in need of the resiliency skills provided by mindfulness now more than ever. Your children will be met where they are with compassion and individualized attention and adaptations to the curriculum. Be sure to share any additional information with the teacher in order for Rebecca to adapt the curriculum each week to meet the group’s needs. Registration ahead of time will be a huge benefit.
Classes will be Saturday mornings from 10am-11am starting October 2nd at Ellister's Elixirs. Each week we will complete practices that will increase our awareness and compassion in the following areas:
-10/2: The Body
-10/9: Our Emotions
-10/16: Our Thoughts
-10/23: The Brain
-10/30: Stress (With a bonus mindful eating activity to celebrate Halloween weekend. Be sure to share about any allergies or food restrictions with your teacher)
-11/6: Communication & Relationships
-11/13: Loving Kindness
-11/20: Integration
