Mindfulness Council: Secular Mindfulness in Public Schools; The ins and outs from those who have walked thru it
If you teach or oversee a mindfulness-based program in a public school setting, it is important to understand potential conflicts with the First Amendment and the Establishment Cause as they relate to teaching mindfulness. Calmer Choice, a non-profit organization from Cape Cod presents a compelling and thoughtful narrative regarding their journey navigating through challenging waters after a concerned parent and California law firm very publicly articulated concerns with mindfulness being taught in the public schools as a First Amendment violation. They speak honestly and compassionately about their struggle, how they emerged stronger, much wiser and with overwhelming support from their community. Participants will learn about the boundaries of secular mindfulness including how to appropriately handle parent concerns that can arise at any time in any district. This workshop will provide important information for anyone who currently teaches mindfulness or is interested in doing so in the future.
