Description

Even as the acute pandemic winds down in many parts of the world and we enter a “new normal”, how can we ensure that we and our communities emerge from this time more resilient than ever?


Join author, psychologist and consultant Dr. Christopher Willard for this two-part series for anyone supporting young people to learn how they can support them through mindfulness. We will explore mindfulness through awareness, movement, games, play, and creative activities for all ages.


Learning differences, cultural differences, developmental differences, and more all affect how young minds learn best. In this practice-based session, we will explore ways to adapt mindfulness to different ages and settings. We will discuss tailoring techniques to a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma and stress. Different practices will engage different learning styles through arts, sports, games, music, technology and more, for attention spans ranging from 30 seconds to 30 minutes.

At the Oxford Mindfulness Centre (OMC) our mission is to reduce suffering, promote resilience and realise human potential across the lifespan through mindfulness. Whilst some of our podcasts are designed for those with an established mindfulness practice, there are others that are suitable for the general public, meaning you do not need prior experience to listen. New podcasts are available weekly.
