It’s with a mixture of sadness and joy that we wish Ben well for September, when he will be leaving his role at MiSP, as Head of Education and Training, and taking his many qualities and skills back into school as a primary Headteacher.
Ben has been instrumental in shaping MiSP over the last 8 years, bringing a wealth of education and mindfulness experience to the charity, as well as his energy, creativity, leadership skills, care and humour. He will be leaving an incredible legacy, including the wonderful dots curriculum, the redevelopment of Paws b and co-developing .begin.
Many of you may have met him in trainings, at information webinars, practice groups, retreats and other support events, and benefitted firsthand from his knowledge and qualities.
Behind the scenes, Ben has been key to creating a culture and training approach that enables us all to feel that we can show up as ourselves in the way we offer the learning, which is so key to authenticity and integrity in mindfulness teaching and training and has been incredibly supportive for us as teachers and trainers.
Ben has also been key in supporting our International Partners, building valued relationships and helping MiSP spread our charitable aims across the globe.
We will miss him deeply. At the same time, we are thrilled for him and know he will be a gift to his new school. We are looking forward to staying in touch and hearing how he gets on.
I am sure you will join us in thanking him and wishing him well
