Taught by Rebecca Swiatek, a graduate-certified Mindfulness teacher through Lesley University and a 17 year experienced special education teacher, owner of MindfulYou.love
Researched for over 40 years, mindfulness, practiced over an 8-week time period has shown evidence to support an increase in compassion, awareness and concentration, decrease reactivity, provide greater emotional regulation, and improve a greater understanding and accepting of one's emotions.
This particular series will be adapted to meet the needs and interests of children 12 and under. Our children and our future generations are in need of the resiliency skills provided by mindfulness now more than ever. Your children will be met where they are with compassion and individualized attention and adaptations to the curriculum. Be sure to share any additional information with the teacher in order for Rebecca to adapt the curriculum each week to meet the group’s needs. Registration ahead of time will be a huge benefit.
Classes will be Saturday mornings from 10am-11am starting October 2nd. Each week we will complete practices that will increase our awareness and compassion in the following areas:
10/2: The Body
10/9: Our Emotions
10/16: Our Thoughts
10/23: The Brain
10/30: Stress (With a bonus mindful eating activity to celebrate Halloween weekend. Be sure to share about any allergies or food restrictions with your teacher)
11/6: Communication & Relationships
11/13: Loving Kindness
11/20: Integration
What to bring: We will provide a few extra items in case things are forgotten or there is a need, but if you are able please bring - a water bottle, a mat, a blanket, and a stuffed animal.
The suggested cost for each individual class is $15 or $100 if you sign up for all 8 classes (recommended to experience the greatest benefits of a mindfulness program including improved concentration and an increase in compassion and awareness).
