“If every 8 year old is taught meditation, we will eliminate
violence from the world within one generation”

Dalai Lama

At The Federation we practise meditation with our children in the classroom.  We use a variety of methods including our own collection of guided meditations, visualisations, body scans, the website Mind Yeti, the apps Calm and Insight Timer. 

Our well being lead, Emma Harley, has trained our staff in delivering meditation sessions and it forms an important part of our school day. 

As the quote above suggests, it is not only a useful tool but a necessary skill for future generations.
