The Mindful School's curriculum covers many topics and skills, from having a mindful body and doing mindful breathing and listening to sending kind thoughts and being grateful as well as eating and taking tests mindfully. Each year I will be offering to teach the program at MWES and I look forward to working with more and more students on the practice of mindfulness!
