The Nature of Mindfulness - 15 minutes

In this series of 15 minute activities, students will examine the colours, shapes and elements of nature and discover how mindful observation and stillness can change the way they feel. Their observations and reflections will deepen their relationship with nature and help them develop greater self-knowledge and resilience.

Learning Goals:

• To discover colour, shape and elements in nature.
• To encourage curiosity, attentiveness and delight in being present in the fullness of each moment.
• To create enhanced focus and improved concentration.
• To develop self-knowledge, empathy, emotional regulation and resilience.
• To cultivate present moment awareness so that calm, considered and conscious choices can begin to replace impulsive, unconscious reactions.
