Mette Bahnsen, a filmmaker in Denmark, has made a wonderful film about integrating mindfulness into education called Healthy Habits of Mind. This beautifully produced movie, freely available on YouTube and Vimeo, covers several important areas: Neuroscience: leading neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson explains the science behind mindfulness and how mindfulness can positively impact happiness and well-being in youth. In-Class Instruction: see kindergarten teacher Renee Harris (a Mindful Schools Curriculum Training graduate) teaching several different mindfulness exercises in her Berkeley, California public school classroom. These activities include mindful breathing, listening, eating, movement, and heartfulness. Training for Educators: the film peeks into a Mindful Schools Curriculum Training course taught by Program Directors Megan Cowan and Chris McKenna. The Value of Mindfulness in Education: interviews with Megan Cowan, Renee Harris, and Dr. Richard Davidson explain why mindfulness is such an invaluable asset in schools.
