Why take this training course?
Taught by Dr Chris Willard, Harvard Medical School and Sally Arnold, International Mindfulness Educator
As the Dalai Lama so eloquently puts it, "if every 8 year-old in the world is taught meditation - we will eliminate violence from the world in one generation." Possibly the closest thing to world peace we will ever get and we are excited that you are considering playing your part in this quest.
During this course you will learn from two leading educators all the theoretical and practical tools and knowledge you need to introduce mindfulness practices to children of all ages in a fun, engaging, and impactful way.
Whilst the classroom may be an obvious place for this activity to take place, we know that adult interactions with kids occur in many other personal and professional settings such as at home, in youth groups, therapeutic sessions, local community meetings, playgroups, and so forth. Additionally, many schools welcome external workshop facilitators - you can be the mindfulness workshop facilitator that the school books once you graduate from this training.
As this course is built from the ground up it assumes no prior experience. You will start with the basics and build a huge toolbox of activities throughout the course. Each module brings you four new topics and activities with relevant tools, theory, research, and practice. Sally provides you with real-world experience of delivering mindfulness to thousands of kids, and Chris shares the knowledge he has gained from many years of research and teaching at Harvard Medical School. Combined, you are receiving everything you need from true experts so that you can go out and make a huge difference in the world.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
These are some frequently asked question that may help you.
Any questions for which you cannot find an answer on this webpage? We would love to answer your question via one of those options:
Absolutely! The opportunity to offer mindfulness to kids goes beyond the classroom and into all areas of life where adults guide and support children. Many schools also welcome external specialists (mindfulness workshop facilitators) into class. This training is perfect for educators, therapists, parents, caregivers, health care professionals, workshop facilitators, or any other professional working with young ones.
The training course is delivered in a series of 8 modules with each module containing 4 teaching sessions. You will get a video from Chris and a video from sally in each session so they both deliver 32 teaching videos during the whole training. Also in each session you get the practical activity for kids plus an activity for your own mindfulness practice development. Additionally within each module there are extra resources and reading materials to supplement the video teaching.
There are a few Multiple Choice questions that you will find as part of the online learning platform spread throughout the course. We would like to ensure that this is not an anxiety-provoking experience, so if you don’t know the right answers you can try again without any penalties – this is simply an assignment that allows us to ensure that our graduates engaged with and contemplated the taught materials.
We suggest this program is suitable for the age range 5-18. During the program Sally refers to three age range groupings as 'littles", "middles", and "bigs". These would approximate to 5-8 (littles), 9-13 (middles), and 14-18 (bigs) with activity modifications suggested accordingly. These suggestions are not to be considered as "strict" and we invite you to use your judgment based on your knowledge of the child or children you are working with and to adapt accordingly.
Whilst we provide you with a full program of 32 activities and suggestions for each age group you are free to choose how you deliver this content. For example you could deliver it all sequentially or choose individual items that meet your needs. You might even pick some elements out and create a workshop or short event - the materials are structured so that you can use them all together or on their own - you have complete flexibility.
