Children and teens can get stressed out and overwhelmed by social and academic challenges. Mindfulness – the deliberate training of the mind to be focused and present, also teaches children to be compassionate to themselves and others.

This skill to focus one’s attention in the direction of one’s own intention helps to engage volition and will power. Overtime, one will also develop better self-awareness and resilience.

In partnerships with schools, we offer mindfulness programmes and day camps for students. Our programmes can be adapted to match the school’s objectives. These programmes deliver mindfulness practices in an engaging way with striking slides, video clips, games, activities and worksheets.
