Welcome

Our professional development training is designed to develop the basics of a personal mindfulness practice, mindful teaching, and how to teach mindful education to others.

In this mindful education training, educators will build on foundational knowledge by learning the definitions and physiological effects of adversity and trauma on the brain, as it relates to development, learning, and growth.

This workshop covers current scientific research on neuroscience and how this alters the way we teach mindfulness practices to students with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as poverty, abuse, and neglect. Teachers will learn to see resistance as information, negative behaviors as protective instincts, and how to identify and encourage key indicators of resilience.

You will also learn: 

• The effects of trauma on the brain and body
• The definition and effects of secondary trauma
• The three myths of mindfulness
• Trauma-sensitive mindfulness practices
• Trauma-sensitive teaching practices
