The goal of the Mindful  Children  Alive  program is to nurture a child's heart, mind, body & spirit.  Beginning with self awareness, the child then looks outside her/himself to view the world's wonders & experience the awe & joys of life surrounding them.  Essentials Curriculum developed by Mindful Schools as well as elements from  MBSR  (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) & MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) will be taught.  Mindfulness Meditation  &  Centering  form much of the lessons.  Mindful Self-Compassion, Loving Kindness & ways to develop one's self esteem are an integral part of the course.  During each class, students will participate in interactive discussions.  Students will listen to poetry, keep a gratitude journal, & do music & art activities.   The  exercise component  is TaiKiRo (developed by Steven M.F. Cohen) which are motions based on the principles & movements from  Tai Chi & Aikido.  In general, the child should come away with an enhanced experience of the sacredness in everyday life.
