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.
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.
