Wednesday 31 October: Post-conference workshop 5: Still quiet place: mindfulness practices for children and adolescents


@ 14.00
Still quiet place: mindfulness practices for children and adolescents

This workshop offers an overview of the 8-week, age-adapted mindfulness-based Still Quiet Place curriculum. During the session you will participate in practices that you can bring home to your family, or use in your work and play with children and adolescents. These practices will allow you, and the young people in your life, to experience the Still Quiet Place within. You will gain an understanding of how observing thoughts and feelings from this place of stillness and quietness improves attention, decreases anxiety, supports healthy choices and enhances compassion for oneself and others. The workshop will include adaptations for family, school, community, and therapeutic settings. Additionally we will review the research regarding benefits of offering mindfulness to children, parents, families, therapists, teachers, and schools. We will discuss what is required for those who wish to do this intimate and important work. There will also be time for questions and answers.
