Delivering Mindfulness in Schools
SEE POSITIVELY-MINDFUL.COM FOR MORE INFORMATION
I've been teaching mindfulness successfully to adults for the past 5 years. I recently took 2 courses to teach to young people and I'm really excited about the potential help that I could offer. I know that I have so much to give, at a time when it is needed the most.
MY DREAM
It's been very difficult to gain access to schools as they are not prepared to pay without knowledge of experience. Money is very tight in this area right now. My dream is to give young people the resources I never had. To do this I will offer the first 5 courses for free, but in order to do that requires lot of time and energy, I wouldn't be able to do it with some financial assistance. I am asking for £5k to deliver 5 courses, each lasting 8 weeks, to 5 different schools. This will enable me to offer them for free,
SUBSIDISED START
If I don't reach my goal I'll offer the courses at a reduced rate anyway, so every £ will help. £5k will allow me to gain access to enough schools to get testimonials and then access into the wider school system and then deliver more courses, In the long term I hope to offer courses on a sliding scale so they are affordable.
MY PASSION
I had a tough time between 12-16 years and I KNOW that this work would have equipped me with better tools to enjoy my youth and learn more effectively. I'm really passionate about helping all people, but especially young people to find their way through anxiety and confusion back to clarity and joyful engagement.
