You’ll discover how to incorporate mindfulness into your teaching practice so that you can overcome stress and reduce the cortisol levels in your blood stream.

We’ll explore the 5 core components of mindfulness, attention and the now, understanding thoughts, emotions and behaviours, improving efficiency and enhancing your relationships.

You’ll leave the conference with answers to the big questions in life and uncover what will bring you lasting, genuine mindfulness.
