Our Courses
People in the Mindful Literacy community are life-long learners. We see adults as students and children as teachers. Our courses focus on building a deep awareness of systems and of expanding your thinking. No matter the course, the big picture always comes back to how the information integrates into your personal experience and how you relate to yourself, to your community, and to our world.
Our courses include one or more of the following topics: Mindfulness, Mindful communication, Literacy [Language, Reading, Writing, Spelling, Thinking], Special Education
