ITAG 2017 Conference

Research shows that mindfulness and contemplative practices can help people to reach a healthier state of mind. Mindfulness is a process learning to slow down, instead of reacting, learning to respond to external and internal stimuli, paying attention to our moment to moment experiences without judgement or criticism. In this session, we will learn and practice simple mindfulness and contemplative practices that we can use in our lives and with our students. We will practice contemplative reading, walking meditation, meditation to connect with others, loving kindness meditation, and peace building activities.
