Mindfulness Practices

Mindfulness practices are a regular part of the school experience at Panyaden. Throughout the day, children are taught strategies to bring their mind to the moment, get in touch with their senses, let go of the past or worries of the future, and practise meditation together in developmentally appropriate ways. Staff at Panyaden are required to attend a 5-day silent meditation retreat each year, and parents are invited for mindfulness sessions at school. Each year we also facilitate a parent meditation retreat.
