Ep. 16 - Mindful Education with Lisa Palmer

Lisa joins us from Lima, Peru, where she lives, teaches (and dances!)  We talked about reconnecting with our true self,  and our light within.   Lisa shares practical ways to live more mindfully right now,  how to tap into our five senses, and how we can always start again--every moment is brand new.   We dive into what mindfulness looks like for second-graders, how to navigate difficult emotions, and how we--as adults--can be better parents, teachers, and allies for kids, showing them healthy ways to cope with the full range of the human experience, from elation to rejection, and everything in between.

Lisa Palmer is a primary school educator, yoga teacher, and co-founder and creator of The Fruit of Mindfulness - a 7 week online Mindfulness course designed for educators. In this course the participants build the foundation of their own mindfulness practice then learn various mindfulness strategies and activities to share in their classrooms. She has the honor of being the mindfulness coordinator at Colegio Villa Per Se in Lima, Peru where she designs and implements the K-12 curriculum and leads an intimate meditation circle among secondary students. Lisa is passionate about inspiring others to create intentional moments to connect to the light within.
