Transformative Mindfulness in Education

Learn how to support your wellness while you're engaging in social justice change work in schools and classrooms.
Mindfulness practices support our wellbeing and our capacity to navigate the challenges that are common when trying to support change. Throughout the book, you will find mindfulness practices to build self-awareness and guidance to identify injustices within your setting. You'll also gain strategies for building collaborative teams and groups through generative conflict, developing community agreements, and learning how to repair so that change can be sustained.
Bonus: Recordings of some of the guided practices are available on the book's product page on Routledge.com to support your experience.
