Nurturing Mindfulness in Teens: Insights from Soil and Soul Mindfulness Clubs
In this episode, join Pablo Del Real from Soil and Soul as he guides us through a Mindfulness Club session focusing on teaching teens how to supervise their attention. The session, organized in collaboration with Zen Peacemakers, features personal intros from students and staff, a demonstration of a typical mindfulness club meeting, and reflections on the profound impacts of mindfulness practices. Students share their heartfelt experiences and the benefits they've discovered through grounding, mindful movement, stillness, and heart talk. The video concludes with a Q&A segment addressing challenges and growth through mindfulness.
