Workshops

Training the mind towards focus, balance, and insight supports individuals, enhances

interpersonal relationships, and positively impacts the vibrancy and culture of the work

environment itself.

In this Program, participants will be taken step-by-step through techniques that will allow them to incorporate meditation into their daily life, and experience its many benefits in and out of the workplace. Participants will learn how to: reduce tension and stress; feel happier and more relaxed; and, improve their health, mental clarity and focus. Participants will also be introduced to the foundations of a meditation practice and techniques for paying attention to present moment experiences, which helps participants to build a better foundation for communication and relationships (both personal and professional).

Why Incorporate Meditation and Mindfulness into your Company’s Wellness Initiatives?

Businesses of all types have embraced the fact that the wellbeing of their employees improves the health of the company. An increasing percentage of large US companies have launched stress reduction programs of some sort, and many of those are also incorporating mindfulness and meditation trainings. In fact, mindfulness is being praised as the next great thing in the efforts to improve the performance, health and overall wellbeing of employees. 

According to the Gallup Business Journal, wellbeing is an employer issue. By the numbers, they reported:

* Businesses with employees who have thriving wellbeing have a 35% lower turnover rate than those who are struggling;

• Businesses with employees with high wellbeing have 41% lower health-related costs compared with employees who have lower wellbeing. In a firm that has 10,000 employees, this difference amounts to nearly $30 million.

Businesses: Whether you are planning a team building event, want to introduce some simple mindfulness practices to your organization, or are looking for in-depth mindfulness workplace training, Meditation Works has the expertise and tools to deliver the results you are looking for.

Based on your requirements, I will work closely with you to find the best training solution for your situation.

Meditation is a learned skill that you can enjoy with your kids, and its purpose is to find

Workshop Description:

This workshop offers a simple introduction to meditation, emphasizing kindness, respect for others and keeping a happy heart.

All parents wish for their children to be happy and healthy. In this 1 ½ -hour workshop,

participants will be introduced to the foundations of Mindfulness practice and techniques that can gently encourage everyday actions that nourish and grow attention, empathy and self-care with your kids.

In an uncertain and busy world, children and parents need to learn how to develop harmony, confidence and methods to help calm their minds.

Children who grow feeling connected to their parents:

• Have healthy self-esteem
• Do better in school
• Choose healthy relationships
• Feel comfortable around adults
• Explore and try new things
• Have an easier time with change
• Develop a positive self-concept

In other words, the parent-child connection grows happy children!

“The great thing about meditation is that you’re the teacher as well as the student”

Contact me to learn more about a Mindful Parenting-Child Workshop at your school.

Learn to develop the fundamental skills for meditation and acquire skills to cope with stress in and out of the classroom. Throughout this course, teachers will explore and learn several different meditation techniques. Participants will be asked and encouraged to maintain a daily meditation practice for the duration of the course. Developing their own practice will give participants the experiential foundation to change themselves and impact their lives and their classroom(s). 

The meditation practices that we will focus on do not require any religious interpretations or commitments. Each class will have at least two periods of meditation. Learning how to meditate inspires a teacher’s desire to reconnect and refuel!

“At it’s highest level, the purpose of teaching is not to teach—it is to inspire the desire for learning. Once a student’s mind is set on fire, it will find a way to provide its own fuel.” -

Raising Joyful, Balanced Children

Explore the path of mindfulness and peaceful parenting.

Children learn about themselves by the messages they receive. By interacting with our children in a positive way, attuning to them and connecting with them, we can help our children to be confident and know their intrinsic goodness.

Mindful parenting invites us on a journey to cultivate a deeper awareness so we can bring our best, most engaged selves to the task of raising our children.

•  To practice patience and deep listening with our children
•  To identify reactive patterns and explore options for attending to unplanned stressors
•  To improve the quality of life and relationship between parents and children.
