What's New with MC4ME?
This Fall, Using Fundsawarded from the Community Foundation of Southeastern Michigan, MC4ME will implement mindfulness training to staff and students in a Grosse Pointe middle school. We've also begun training schools in Southgate and Detroit.
Our "Teaching Mindfulness To Youth" Workshop A Success!
In this two-day workshop, 23 participants engaged in a morning of restorative practices followed by a day-and-a-half of learning and practicing specific mindfulness activities for use with elementary and middle school students.
Fall brings us to a new beginning. In that light, remember to bring the sense of beginner’s mind to the forefront, whether meeting new students, seeing colleagues, or organizing family life activities. Join us for a half-day practice retreat on November 11 to reinforce your mindfulness practice and connect with MC4ME.
