Mindfulness with Lucy Keller

"We live in such a busy world where there is so much stimuli, technology and things we are processing and I think if we can create a culture where people take pauses, then we can make better decisions not just for ourselves but for our community."

This episode with Lucy Keller deep dives into the power of mindfulness in a school community. Lucy shares her expertise having worked as a mindful educator school wide. She is extremely honest with where mindfulness is most powerful and where it is not. She discusses the analogy of planting seeds slowly, as a way of implementing change like this in a school setting.

Lucy highlights the importance of starting the mindful process by being clear on why you're implementing it and what the purpose is. Is it students knowing themselves better, individuals making more conscious decisions, showing more compassion or helping them cope with stresses in the world? We discuss which age groups mindfulness is most significant for and the different strategies and practices used across a whole school setting. Lucy shares positive ways to engage staff and parents as well as students.

Lucy explains her successes and challenges, the importance of a systemic mindful change not just individuals as well as the power of making such a practice a habit in order to see benefits and change.

Thank you for coming on this journey to create a better future for our life long learners.
