Mindful Magic is our mindfulness enrichment programme, we use nature and environmental concepts to help youths develop socio-emotional skills. Our lessons strengthen the ways in which young people develop positive relationships not just with themselves, but with others, and the environment too!
We’ve made this booklet to share some of the magic with you – in the pages to come you’ll find lesson ideas and resources from Pillar One of our curriculum; which focuses on building self-awareness and self-management skills, for children aged 7 to 9. We hope that the moments you create with the children you interact with will be memorable, meaningful, and full of mindful magic.
