Seminar: Asian Meditation Traditions Past and Present
This project will assist educators working with multilingual students to begin the year or reset by practicing meditation in a trauma-informed environment. Students will use English and their mother tongues to learn, practice, and notice vocabulary of emotions while they learn translation strategies, practice meditation, and journal. They will create a mantra using the ideas of their elders, and then create a presentation to effect positive change.
