We had a great time at our Mindfulness at Home workshop the other night! A nice group of parents gathered together to experience some of the mindfulness practices that we do in Peace Class. They were so relaxed by the end of the hour that we all floated home! I shared a bunch of resources that you can use to learn about and practice mindfulness at home. It would be so great if the kids were able to keep up their mindfulness practice over the summer. The resource list is below. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at linda.ryden@dc.gov. I'll schedule another parent workshop in the Fall.
