Mindful Schools Community Practice

Mindful Schools faculty, Solissa McKay, guides a meditation on building community through connection, inclusion, and embodied awareness. Join our monthly practice. www.mindfulschools.org

Let your whole, authentic self shine in your interactions with young people by tuning in and attending to your nervous system. In this session, we will share practices to help you connect with your inner potential and build connection in your classroom.

This month’s practice is part of our Back-to-School series ( https://www.mindfulschools.org/back-to-school/) to support educators as they prepare to return to in-person learning. Gain inspiration, connection, and support through this discussion and guided practice.

Before our minds wander to planning the next school year, let’s cherish the special moments of summer and practice opening our hearts to joy.

Pride Month helps us to see the possibility of a world where we can live into the fullness of our identities. While we each make choices about how we express ourselves, we can always return to our feeling of inner wholeness to support a sense of freedom. We hope you enjoy this special practice for our LGBTQIA+ Educators and Allies.

For many of us, the pandemic has revealed our interdependence and desire for connection. In this community practice, we take time to cultivate our "Collective Resilience" and honor the dedication and service of educators as part of Teacher Appreciation Week. Mindfulness guide, April Frazier, also reads a compelling passage from Resmaa Menakem's "My Grandmother's Hands."
