The stillness we achieve and answers we have access to in quiet times can assist us in making both simple and complex decisions. We learn that we always have access to this still point — our inner peace — to help us with our school work, as well as with our relationships to our selves and with others. This series helps promote a sense of connection, engagement, and social-emotional wellbeing. Students are led through guided visualizations/meditations, learning techniques to establish inner focus and a relaxed state of mind, which research has shown to be key to learning. Time is reserved at the end of each session for integration through drawing and conversation. There are 6 meditation series to choose from or design your own series from our sixty unique meditations. Classrooms will receive a resource pdf download for each weekly meditation with ideas to promote integration of the tools into the classroom.

Each session students explore a unique emotion using drawing, story, and meditation. Students have the opportunity to engage their body and expressiveness, release some steam, and participate in an ongoing dialogue about emotional wellbeing. When students use creativity to engage their big emotions, they find certainty in their feelings and learn new tools to communicate their emotions. Each of the classes focuses on the exploration of a single emotion or emotional state. Some of the topics include: Happiness, Frustration, Calm and Serene, Boredom, Excitement, Envy, Trust, Worry and Anxiety, Contentment, Confusion, Hope, Fear, Love, Anger, Sadness, Gratitude, Loneliness and Aloneness, Pride, Jealousy, Awe, Nervousness, Enjoyment, Inner Peace, Admiration, Sleep, and Self Confidence.

Teaching from Within:
A Coming-Back-to-the-Self Offering for Teachers
6-week series
60 minutes per session
What can we expect of our kids if we do not support the teachers who are supporting them every day and in every possible way? This 6-week course is a meditation series designed to help teachers and school administrators come back to themselves, enabling them to access the tools necessary for renewal and replenishment.
In-School Residency:
Incorporating Wellbeing Into Your Curriculum
Partial-day, full-day, and multi-day sessions, according to your needs
This offering is designed to help your school incorporate mindfulness meditation practices into its everyday reality. Working with both teachers and students, we do a deep dive into how to refresh and re-set your school culture by integrating meditation practices into its very fabric, not as an adjunct to it. What would it be like if mindfulness were to become an interwoven characteristic of your school, penetrated into its very structure? Michelle would love to partner with you to embark on this exciting journey, one that would benefit every member of your school community.
