In this workshop presented by renowned mindfulness teacher and author, Susan Kaiser Greenland, you will explore the theory and practice of mindfulness with youth and its specific applications in home, classrooms, and clinical therapy settings. You will learn how to foster six essential life skills – Quieting, Focusing, Seeing, Reframing, Caring and Connecting, using mindful games and activities that have been empirically tested for more than a decade with thousands of children. This workshop will include experiential practice together with demonstrations of lessons, teaching techniques, and group facilitation processes.
Participants will be able to purchase an advance copy of Susan's Kaiser Greenland's latest book, "Mindful Games". Her earlier book, "Mindful Child" was lauded as groundbreaking. Susan was one of the first to apply secular mindfulness to children and educational settings through her Inner Kids Mindful Awareness program.
This workshop is best suited for educators (pre-k through high school), therapists, early childhood professionals and other providers who work with youth. Education scechs are pending approval.
