Ep. 14: Back to School: Facing Change and Transition After an Already Challenging Year

In a "normal" year, schools and educators have response plans in place. If this, then this. But what happens in a year like 2020-2021? How can we support our students and communities? The Mindful Schools team candidly discusses what's arising in their communities and how they're unpacking a year's worth of challenges during *yet another* transition back to school.

Shelter-in-place has challenged Mindful Schools to deeply rethink how we support educators at our in-depth, week-long (and typically in-person) mindfulness retreats––a focal element of our Mindful Teacher Certification Program. Megan, Argos, and Alan discuss how the shift to virtual-at-home retreats has opened new doors to support and empower educators to integrate mindfulness into daily life.
