In this episode, Wendy speaks with contemplative educator and researcher Patricia (Tish) Jennings. Tish has been a pioneer in bringing mindfulness and compassion into school settings, with a particular focus on helping teachers. This conversation covers many topics, including:
• her experience as an educator and a meditator; • how teacher stress contributes to the classroom environment; • how contemplative practice can help bring awareness to automatic responses, and help shift them; • the process of attunement and our core as social beings; • how teachers can be sensitive to students who have experienced trauma; • problems with the industrialized model of education; • how teachers can be a force for change from the inside; • yoga and body sensation as mindfulness for young children; • somatic awareness and understanding emotions; • and what young people need most right now.
