Many mindfulness teachers aspire to be inclusive but often feel apprehensive when it comes to welcoming neurodivergent participants. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be daunting!
With some foundational knowledge, greater awareness, and a few thoughtful adaptations, mindfulness spaces can become more genuinely inclusive and supportive for everyone.
Why attend?
Because traditional mindfulness teaching methods might not resonate with, or fully support neurodivergent individuals.
This session is crafted to inspire teachers how to adapt some of these methods, fostering a learning environment that is inclusive and accepts, embraces, and supports neurodivergent participants. An environment in which teachers recognise the unique different perspectives participants inhabit.
This session blends a didactic presentation, reflective opportunities, and Q&A. It is intended to support neurodivergent (ND) participants and teachers in exploring mindfulness without suppressing their neurodivergent traits or without hiding their authentic self. This enables neuro-affirmative practice, which can make mindfulness more accessible and effective for one’s own neurotype and personhood.
We will focus on key considerations for the lead-up to, during, and post-course, using the six domains of the Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Teaching Assessment Criteria (MBI:TAC) as a framework (*)
