The '6th Dimension' in School

Based on the core mindfulness principles of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT),  Mindfulness courses for Schools offer  content and learning through roles in the school community —

as students, teachers, staff and parents.

​

The learning from all of the Mindfulness lessons is connected to other aspects of the school curriculum where and when appropriate, such as music, sport, art, drama, queuing to come into the classroom, school and residential trips, to name just a few.  Overall is the School Culture which is sustained in its highest and long terms' goals.

​

Research shows clearly that mindfulness is more effective when taught by those who embody the particular qualities it develops, such as open-minded curiosity, kindliness, acceptance, trust, patience, non-striving, and who have skills of focusing, paying and switching attention.
