Meditation with Children

During this one-day course we will be looking at how to plan your child-focused sessions, how to market your course and also how develop a good relationship with schools.

During the morning session we will look at the who, what and where you will be teaching. This will include looking at your target age groups and their learning styles. We will explore different meditations for children and look at tips and considerations to ensure you deliver the meditations effectively.

During the afternoon session we will look at your learning objectives before exploring engagement ideas including hooks and segues. We will then look at how to get the best out of your relationships with schools as well as working with children on a private basis including ‘out of school’ clubs. We will discuss tips for teaching, including working with children with Autism/Asperger’s, as well as considerations for anxiety and depression. In addition to this we will consider safeguarding areas as well as evaluating your sessions too.

Introduction to Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness Meditation

During this one day session, we will look what trauma is, and how we can adapt our teaching to be more aware ,so we can recognise and respond effectively.

When teaching meditation we are often aware of our duty of care, and with the right knowledge and skills we can offer an experience which focuses on keeping people safe, this preventing retraumatisation.

We will start by understanding what trauma means, as well as the prevalence within society before looking at what it means to be Trauma Sensitive.

We will take a deeper dive into the nervous system and understand what can take us outside of our own tolerance, so you can understand dysregulation.

Please note, the intention of this course is not to qualify you to work as a trauma specialist, but for you to feel more equipped and confident when working with students who may experience challenges in meditation.
