Adventures in Mindfulness: Teaching and Reaching Stillness through Activity

Mindfulness is the deliberate, investigative form of awareness that can offer individuals a way to come off habituated behaviors. Through activity and discussion participants will experience this scientifically proven and life changing practice. 

The workshop will:

• distinguish the similarities and differences between mindfulness, relaxation and meditation
• teach a variety of relaxation, meditative, and mindfulness practices
• experience activities that teach and support the neuroscience related to contemplative practices
• develop a more authentic connection with one’s self and others
• learn about awareness and its role in self regulation
• develop strategies to establish a daily mindfulness practice

The six Full Value Behavioral Norms: Be Here, Be Safe, Be Honest, Set Goals, Let Go & Move On, Care for Self and Others, are foundational to social emotional learning; they dovetail with and extend the CASEL 5 Core Competences. Full Value teaches self-regulation and giving participants a voice. Key components are the group process, goal setting, co-creation of behavioral agreements, and learning through experience.
