Mindfulness/Holding Space Workshop
This 2 day workshop will use Mindfulness Arts to explore and develop the skill of Holding Space. Holding Space is the capacity to emotionally support others. As a teacher learning how to cultivate this skill is essential for a healthy learning environment. The workshop will focus on how to hold space for oneself as well as others. We will be practicing yoga, meditation and forest bathing among other arts for self reflection and awareness. Participants will be learning and practicing skills to take home and bring into their classrooms.
There will be discussions on energetics and non-violent communication both days. This course is designed for teachers or anyone interested in learning more about how to be in service of others without draining energy for to care for oneself.
