About this event
WHAT?
In recent years, a surge in interest and empirical research suggests that adolescents can experience a wide array of benefits from practising mindfulness, including enhanced executive functioning, increased academic performance, and improved mental well-being.
In essence, mindfulness involves paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment with an attitude of kindness and curiosity. It is a way of being and relating to ourselves and the world around us, that can be trained through formal secular practices as well as when we go about our day-to-day activities.
This 4-lesson Mindful Teen course is designed to introduce teenagers to the principles of mindfulness, with an emphasis on attention training, stress management, emotion regulation, and relating with others. It offers participants an opportunity to explore and experience first-hand how mindfulness can be relevant when dealing with daily stressors and challenges they face during these developmentally turbulent years of their life.
Participants will learn how to apply mindfulness to stay focused, reduce stress, and calm distressing emotions. In addition, the course aims to cultivate attitudes such as gratitude, curiosity, kindness, and compassion.
Learning activities include:
• Games & quizzes
• Discussions and reflections
• Guided mindfulness practices
What to bring:
• a yoga mat (for lessons 2 and 4),
• a water bottle and a thin jacket/shawl.
