Dear MiEN

Please join some of us this May in New York for a special conference on mindfulness and youth. Those of you who remember the “Bridging the Hearts and Minds of Youth” conferences hosted by the University of California San Diego in the early – mid 2010’s may recall that these were a special time of learning and community building in the then-nascent field of mindfulness and youth. I remember meeting incredible educators, clinicians, researchers, parents, and more. Some of those relationships have remained important to me and have continued to grow.

Huge gratitude to all of the people who organized and attended and spoke at those San Diego conferences back in the day!

Chris Willard, Mark Bertin, and I are hoping to rekindle some of that spirit again, build community with others working in this area, and look back and look forward on what has changed (and what has not) in this field. Please join us, and share with your colleagues!

Registration is open now: https://churchillschoolnyc.lpages.co/building-a-bridge-connecting-educators-caregivers-and-youth-through-mindfulness/

Speakers: Susan Kaiser Greenland, Mark Bertin, Ofosu Jones-Quartey, Valerie Brown, Dzung Vo, Chris Willard. Half of the Saturday will be devoted to mindfulness practice in community, led by Kaira Jewel Lingo.

Sneak preview: If this conference is successful, we are hoping to offer a sequel in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2026! Stay tuned!

Hello Mindfulness colleagues the world over!

Greetings from Hong Kong.

I’m excited to let you know that we are once more offering the Certificate program in Mindfulness for Children Teacher Training. This mindfulness program for children and teens, and the teacher training program, was developed by Eline Snel, the well known and highly regarded author of “Sitting Still Like Frog”.

After a long pause, I am happy to announce our next 6-day training offering is to be conducted online via zoom, opening the space for all those who want to engage with the wonderful world of mindfulness for kids, bringing diversity in culture and experience to the learning space.

We have a Free Information Workshop on Wed, March 5 @ 6:30 HK Time (GMT+8) - online
