Mindful Well-Being benefits the person and the profession. Mindfulness, or present moment awareness, is a quality of mind we can all bring forth with practice. Mindfulness practice calms the mind, allowing us to live more fully in the now. Well-being is one’s lifestyle artistry – the exploration of health enhancing behaviours and leading causes of life. At its core, Mindful Well-Being is preventive medicine; empowering a flexible body, clear mind, and open heart that serve the whole school community.
