Strengthen your practice. Deepen your impact.
These live sessions are where facilitators practise mindfulness with others in the Calmology community.
Each session focuses on an element or attitude from the Calmology courses, revisited through practical, creative experiences—drawing, pausing, breathing, noticing.
This is where a steady personal practice begins to form. As facilitators engage each week, they build awareness and confidence in how to bring mindfulness into daily life—formally and informally—with the children they support.
What are the goals for facilitators in this course?
Build confidence applying Calmology elements and attitudes in everyday moments.
Strengthen your own daily mindfulness practice through creative and reflective experiences.
Explore how different facilitation styles influence children’s engagement with mindfulness.
Use Calmology resources in real time to practise guiding mindful moments for others.
Collaborate with peers to reflect on challenges, insights, and successes in your facilitator journey.
Learn how to adapt experiences for formal and informal settings with children.
Recognise the value of personal practice in shaping how you support children to be present, calm, and aware.
Facilitator Foundations is for adults delivering mindfulness to children in professional, educational, or therapeutic settings. This part of the course offers the opportunity for you to practice mindfulness in a community and reflect together in live sessions.
No prior experience is needed! The course is structured to guide you step-by-step, starting with foundational concepts and gradually building your ability to facilitate mindfulness techniques with children. Whether you are new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, this course is designed to boost your confidence.
The Facilitator Foundations component requires you to attend 27 hours of live sessions to practice what you have been learning in the self-paced courses.
For this component of the course, due to the nature of sharing and the practical sessions, the live sessions will not be recorded.
