The goal of the Mindful Children Alive program is to nurture a child's heart, mind, body & spirit. Educator Essentials Curriculum developed by Mindful Schools as well as elements from MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) & MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) will be taught along with Mindfulness Meditation, Mindful Compassion for Self & All Living Things, Environmental Education, Loving Kindness & ways to develop one's self-esteem. Students will participate in interactive discussions, listen to poetry, keep a gratitude journal, & do music & art activities. The exercise component is TaiKiRo (developed by Steven M.F. Cohen) which are movements based on the principles & movements from Tai Chi & Aikido. In general, the child should come away with an enhanced experience of daily Joy & the sacredness in everyday life.
