This refresher training course is for those who have already completed the .b training to teach mindfulness to 11-18 year olds. The course consists of walkthrough teaching sessions, all of the key .b practices guided and woven throughout the day, pedagogy sessions, opportunities to practise guiding the .b practices with each other, with clear support and guidance on how to Lead Practice and Enquiry beforehand, plus a bespoke Q and A session with our trainers alongside discussions about next steps.
Our intentions for this course are threefold: to refresh participants understanding of the curriculum, to continue to support the development of personal mindfulness practice; to continue to encourage the development of a sense of community amongst participants beyond the course as they work with the young people in their settings.
