We work with schools with the approach of ‘self-education’ through the medium of mindfulness. Our goal is to fulfill the Health and Wellbeing Area of Learning and Experience outlined in the New Welsh Curriculum.
Our courses are taught by teachers who apply a deep knowledge and understanding of mindfulness in their own lives. We adopt a safe and supportive approach to the subject that intrigues and encourages the young person to want to know about the ‘self’ within.
At the beginning of the mindfulness journey, students often feel awkward and confused. The rigid structures of traditional education leave them feeling lost.
Transitioning from anxiety to action, we bring students into open forums for self-expression. Participants learn to navigate their thoughts, emotions, and interests.
Students emerge as changed individuals. They start to ask questions, share knowledge, and support their peers. Leading to a more inclusive and supportive classroom.
What are the actual steps involved along the way? Discover the process students and teachers go through on their mindfulness journey.
We begin by teaching all participants about their mind and body. We introduce mindfulness techniques and exercises from the very beginning, such as quiet and slow time.
We let students connect and build a relationship with us at their own pace. A relationship that dismantles hierarchy. Together, we share lived experiences, interests, and stories.
Students explore their more inquisitive side. They begin asking questions and share what they’re going through. And most importantly, they develop compassionate listening skills.
We ask students and teachers what makes them happy and satisfied. We then collectively discuss empathy, love, and how we can work together to achieve happiness and satisfaction.
Life isn’t all sunshine and roses. We learn to cultivate gratitude and appreciation so that everyone can find peace and return to a place of comfort, even at tough times.
Students reflect on what they’ve learned in the past 14 weeks. They take on skills to solve new problems together, and how they can share their results with others.
“I liked spending time with my friends at the club”
“I looked forward to the group after school”
“I’m still friends with the people I met at the group. I’m glad ‘cause I was worried I wouldn’t know anyone in my new school”
“I loved all of the activities; it was so much fun!”
“My best favourite was the grid game, I wish we had that at school”
“I made new friends and I liked hanging out with them after school”
“I enjoyed making new friends. It just made me happy”
“The arts and crafts were so fun. I enjoyed showing everyone how to make a paper dragon.”
“I liked showing my football skills”
Shilpa is an engaging and passionate teacher of mindfulness. She created a wonderful calm and safe environment for our pupils develop their own mindful practice, developing an understanding as to how to direct their attention with greater awareness and skill. The skills Shilpa has equipped them with, they are beginning to applying outside the mindful sessions, which is having a positive impact on wellbeing.
The course helped to address needs of learners that have been amplified through the pandemic. Students’ resilience has been affected and this Mindfulness course has provided a good strategy for helping to build resilience.
I found the breathing and visualisation exercising helpful to get to sleep.
Our courses are priced at £12 per session, per head. With a capacity of 10-15 participants over a 6 or 14-week period. That’s roughly £720 – £2,520. If required, we can help you acquire mindfulness funding.
Our mindfulness courses are delivered during school hours. They can be negotiated to fit in with your school’s needs. We pride ourselves on being non-disruptive independent providers.
2 Yam staff go to teach our sessions. Additional staff are not required. We ask additional staff members to participate and learn from the course. This is to develop an awareness of the needs around the material.
We advise schools select up to 20 pupils who are interested in mindfulness. If there are any remaining spaces, we recommend teachers fill the remaining empty spaces with those who will benefit the most.
In schools, we deliver 60 minutes of mindfulness.
We can deliver all of our courses in English & Welsh.
Our school mindfulness courses take place at your school. We cater to all schools in North Wales, and can work with schools in surrounding areas.
After completing our school mindfulness courses, you’ll receive 3-months access to our resource library. We also offer a drop-in session a few weeks after the course ends, where can can provide additional support.
We encourage teachers to participate with the children if they wish to stay with their class during the session. However, we also offer a bespoke programme for teachers and school staff.
