Mission Be Mindful Educator Training

Mission Be Weekend Mindful Educator Training
August 21-23rd in Santa Cruz at the Louden Nelson Center
November 13-15th in San Francisco at the Coyote Point Yacht Club

Mission Be is offering a weekend training for educators to bring mindfulness practices to their own lives and their classroom and
school communities. Participants will have opportunities to:

? Develop or Deepen Educator Self-Care Practice
The weekend experience is designed to help participants enhance their personal self-care and relaxation practice. Each day includes dedicated time for concrete mindfulness practices that can reduce stress and improve well-being in body and mind. This includes daily morning and evening mindful meditation sessions, mindful eating, mindful walking, lying down meditation, and many informal mindfulness practices. Our hope for participants for the weekend is to not only learn how to bring mindfulness to youth but also come away from the weekend refreshed and rejuvenated.

? Learn Mindfulness Facilitation Skills
The weekend will train educators in Mission Be’s 8 Week Mindfulness Program for children in K-5. The training includes Mission Be’s curriculum modules on the science of mindfulness, mindfulness and the brain, mindful communication, reacting vs. responding, empathy, gratitude, and facilitation and class management skills.

? Strengthen Peer Network
Integrating a new program such as mindfulness in one’s own life or in a classroom provides many challenges. The weekend training offers many opportunities for teachers to authentically connect and learn from peer educators integrating mindfulness in their lives and in the classroom.

Who Should Attend
The weekend is open for all K-5 administrators, teachers, school counselors, psychologists and social workers and others working with youth.

How to Register
Interested participants can register for the training by July 18 at:

The tuition for the weekend is $280 per educator.

Mindfulness programs have great potential to help children and teachers thrive in school and beyond. We invite you to join with other New York City and surrounding area schools in building capacity for mindfulness programming in our school communities.
