It’s also helped my 2nd graders understand their own behaviors and emotions. We can discuss the different ways we’d respond to something disturbing, sad, or stressful using the brain, and help them understand why we sometimes react the way we do.” Fee: $250 Follow up in-classroom demonstration lessons of up to an hour are available for $70 per class. Trainers: Bobbi Allan & Shakti Burke, Mindfulness in Education. Bobbi and Shakti are both experienced teachers of Mindfulness. They launched Mindfulness in Education in the NSW Northern Rivers in 2012 and have since presented this training to over 200 teachers, and provided follow-up classroom lessons to hundreds of students in local schools and early childhood services.
