Teaching students the skills to live a calmer and less reactive life.
The Program
The Pure Heart Wellbeing Mindfulness Program for Schools has been designed as a starting point to bring focus to the Health and Wellbeing of both students and staff from Kinder to Year 12.
We are living in challenging times. In recent years we have been battling bushfires, floods and now a world pandemic.
Our School Programs combine the science of the physical body with Eastern philosophy of mindfulness. They are relevant, easy to use and will enable students and staff to build resilience and the confidence to live in our demanding modern world.
Covid-Safe
Our programs have been designed to be non-contact and Covid-safe. All meditations are accessed via the cloud. Visual Art Journals are delivered directly to your school, and where necessary - all “in house” and staff development components can be delivered via Zoom.
