I am very grateful for this opportunity to connect and share best practices, learn new concepts and processes as well as meet fellow peacemakers.

I teach an original Mindfulness Program to 1st, 2nd and 4th graders at two elementary schools in Dallas and slowly expanding. Funding is always an issue but I move forward even on a monk's budget because I have seen the difference it is making in the kid's lives as well as the teachers.

I really appreciated the first session with Kay and Carolyn sharing the Core Assumptions and the four key areas of focus for building healthy relationships.

I am interested in not only "peace tools for schools," a mantra I use in my Ministry for Sacred Living, but also how to get these tools to Universities. Not just for students who are on the teaching path but to create a generation of Socially and Emotionally Intelligent young adults.

Very excited. Thanks for having this.

Have a beautiful day.
