Mindful Parenting Course
The Jockey Club “Peace and Awareness” Mindfulness Culture in Schools Initiative (JC PandA) will be offering a free-of-charge Mindful Parenting Course for parents in the 2024/25 academic year. The course includes one taster session and eight Mindful Parenting sessions. It aims to reduce parental stress, improve parent-child relationships, and reduce problem behaviors of their children.
Mindful Monday
Mindfulness is the awareness arising from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally. It is also about compassionate acceptance of ourselves. “Mindful Monday” encourages us to start our week with various mindfulness practices such as sitting, stretching, walking, and body scan. A mindfulness teacher from JC PandA will provide guided mindfulness practices on Monday. Students, staff, alumni and the general public are welcome to join any or all sessions.
Weekend Practice
‘Weekend Practice’ is an online group practice space especially designed for the graduates of eight-week mindfulness courses. Through 30 minutes of guided practice (mainly sitting meditation) in regular gatherings, we aim to deepen our practice of mindfulness in a supportive group environment.
