Online Course for Educators on Cultivating Mindfulness
with Shantum Seth
As part of the Wake Up Schools global movement, Ahimsa Trust would like to invite you to attend a specially curated online course on CULTIVATING MINDFULNESS that equips educators with the skills to take care of their mind and heart, especially relevant to these difficult times.
Experience how we can make use of our daily activities and bring our awareness to focus on the breath so as to bring our body and mind together in the present moment. Learn practices to nourish joy and transform negative feelings, and in turn create an environment of happiness all around.
