This mindfulness course will offer a wide range of practical approaches, guiding students to cultivate a deep awareness, which Thich Nhat Hanh describes as “the energy of your true presence.”

A growing body of scientific research reveals that mindfulness is not only a powerful tool to build resilience when dealing with daily stressors, but it also has a significant impact on our cognitive, emotional, and social skills. One Harvard study (among many others) measured, after just 8 weeks of mindfulness training, a significant change in the regions of the brain in charge of learning, working memory, and executive decision making, as well as increased self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and compassion. In addition, the amygdala (which deals with anxiety, fear, and stress control) gets measurably smaller. What those studies demonstrate is that through this practice, we are not only calming the mind, but also developing the brain. And, it’s never too early or too late to do that.

The course is designed for students interested in deepening their own mindfulness practice, parents who understand its profound benefits for their children’s development and well-being, yoga and school teachers, as well as any other professionals seeking to empower the people they work with to build resilience, strong awareness in the present moment, and what one of the pioneers in the field, Jon Kabat-Zinn, perceives as the true meaning of the practice – “a presence of heart.”

There will be pre-recorded content shared with the participants.
