From July 15-19, 2019, Learning & the Brain is offering a Summer Institute in the heart of Boston.

This institute will explore proven practices that can be used for educators and clinicians looking for creative ways to share mindfulness with children and teens.

While we ask our students to manage their stress, pay attention, regulate their emotions and impulses, rarely until mindfulness became mainstream, have we considered how to actually teach those skills. Be prepared for a week of learning and practicing mindfulness through movement, games, and play, as well as more traditional mind-body approaches. Learning differences, cultural differences, developmental differences, and mental health differences, will all be taken into consideration as we explore ways to adapt mindfulness for the students in your school or setting, rather than taking a one-size-fits all approach. You will create an outline for your own curriculum, adapted for your schools or setting. To ensure that our work remains hands-on and personal, the workshop is limited to 40 participants.
