Richard Burnett – Mindfulness In Schools

Richard Burnett – Mindfulness In Schools

Richard Burnett is co-founder and director of Mindfulness in Schools. Richard co-created the highly-acclaimed 10 week mindfulness course, .b designed to engage adolescents in the classroom. He is a teacher and boarding Housemaster at Tonbridge School, the first school in the UK to put mindfulness on the curriculum, an event covered by press, TV and radio in early 2010. Thousands of young people have been taught .b in a wide range of educational contexts in the UK, USA, Germany, France, Finland, Denmark, Holland, Thailand and Mexico.

In this interview, Richard reveals how mindfulness is being rolled out in schools and how children are learning to using it better handle stress, learn more effectively and enjoy their lives more. In this video, you’ll also experience a wonderful mindfulness practice called ‘play attention’ that is great for teaching to children and teens.

In the second video, Kaira Jewel Lingo, guides a ‘pebble meditation’ which is wonderful for both children and adults. Enjoy her beautiful song at the end!

The book, Planting Seeds: Practicing Mindfulness with Children, also has an audio recording of me leading pebble meditation and includes cards that kids can cut out and use to guide their practice in pebble meditation.

Here’s a book, A Handful of Quiet, that is a book for children and adults that focuses exclusively on the practice of pebble meditation.
