Minding Our Lives
We focus on educators. We believe that well-nourished educators are best equipped to nourish their students and that mindful teaching requires mindful educators.
Practicing mindfulness, attending to the present moment with nonjudgmental awareness, builds well-being for an individual and, ultimately, for society. Hope for the future lies in a mindful society. With appropriate preparation, today’s youth will build this society.
Minding Our Lives works to make this vision a reality, helping educators and schools wishing to incorporate mindfulness practice to enhance learning and promote centered, less stressful life.
“When we breathe,
when we are mindful,
life becomes real,
at that very moment.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh
Walking the Teacher’s Path with Mindfulness
Stories for Reflection and Action
a new book by Richard Brady
“Beginning with his own journey as a learner, and continuing with his life-long response to his calling as an educator, Richard reaches into the teacher’s heart and mind with well-crafted insights drawn from well-told teaching stories, and from his own contemplative practice.”
