MINDFUL LIFE PROJECT
Vision
Mindful Life Project envisions schools where all students
are able to participate and excel both socially and academically. Our programs
focus on empowering students by providing them with skills and tools that lead
to improved self-awareness, impulse control, confidence and resiliency. We
believe that every student has the innate ability to be a successful member of
the school and the community. By providing “at-risk” students with skills that
lead to positive results and successful school experiences, the whole school
will see an improved climate.
Programs Overview (excerpt)
We focus on healing the social-emotional problems that have
plagued underserved, inner city schools by providing an educational experience
that positively impacts the behavioral patterns of students. Through Mindful
Life based interventions, students can be guided to make positive life choices
both at school and in their community. Mindful Life Project does this through
teaching mindfulness, expressive arts, yoga, and the performing arts. Students
learn to understand and navigate their feelings, emotions, thoughts, and life
experiences, which enables new, wiser responses that improve attention,
learning, emotional regulation, empathy, and conflict resolution. Our goal is
to establish a foundation of social-emotional skills to allow students to
positively navigate through difficult life experiences.
If you want to conquer the anxiety of life,
live in the moment,
live in the breath.
