Students

“We’re a stronger community because of Mindful Studies. I have a lot of respect for my classmates now.”

“Taking that stress and showing it compassion, and saying ‘this isn’t everything that is in my life right now.’”

“That was the biggest single thing that I have taken away-that I am worth of love, no matter what.”

“In this class, I know I’m heard and I know I’m important.”

The work we did with self-talk was particularly impactful to me because often I find myself going down black holes of self doubt or negativity. I have really noticed changes in my self talk and how I cope with anxiety or stress. Hearing from peers about their own experiences made me feel less alone. EVERYONE should take this class.

School Partners and Parents

“Everybody should have this opportunity to reflect, to look within, and to understand that wherever your are-it’s alright.”

“Mindfulness is that pause to really take in the situation, take in the present moment, and to be awake.”

“If every educator took this training I think we would start to see really different schools.”

“The first time I watched him stop and take a breath, I had hope.”

We always tell staff to ‘practice self-care,’ but we don’t tell them how. I think teachers who took even a little bit of these practices into their own lives could benefit.
