Mindfulness-Based SEL in Action

October

Note from the Editors

Welcome! As you dig into the school year, we want to encourage you to keep that strong home and school relationship going, because building strong connections from the beginning helps us through those challenging times throughout the year. Be sure to check out MyLearningPlan for updates on upcoming workshop opportunities.

We invite you to share this newsletter with others who may benefit from all that is here. :-)

Well, get your tissues ready for this one. This social experiment asks "where has our human connection gone?" as it invites strangers to engage in one minute of direct eye contact. So powerful. 124 cities collaborated on October 29th, 2016 for the one you will see in this video. Check out http://www.buddhatheatre.be/eye_contact_experiment_2019/ for more information on this ongoing experiment. Maybe we host one in this region??
