Educating Mindfully Conferences
​We've hosted five Educating Mindfully Conferences (EMCON), each with a goal of developing adult MBL competencies, diving deep into how students self-regulate and learn, using mindfulness to disrupt bias and increase self-awareness and equity, creating a school culture of compassion and inclusion, and learning educator self-care practices to build stress resiliency and prevent burnout.

This is the poem Barnaby Spring wrote for our inaugural conference and
it also became the dedication in our book. View his mentorship day keynote below.

Mindfulness Stew
Once upon a time, there was a Trickster, a Sage and an Artist.
Listen to this story about their time in a place called America.
They got together and made a meal called Mindfulness Stew.
Oh yeah, everyone took from their garden and threw something into the pot!
The people ate it and had the vision, planted themselves in the ground;
They turned obstacles into the paths of life-long learning and growth.
They bore fruit in the form of people, places and things - all lessons - all stories -
That help us to treat this life, ourselves and one another, this earth and all living things
as the precious gems that they are. Come listen to our story of mindfulness stew.​
