Residential Mindfulness Retreat
In the frantic pace of the modern world, we often find ourselves trapped within anxieties about the future or ruminations about the past, rarely pausing our hurried steps to revel in the present moment. The Jockey Club “Peace and Awareness” Mindfulness Culture in Schools Initiative (JC PandA) cordially invites you to momentarily let go of the usual frenzy to reconnect with your mind and body, learn the art of integrating mindfulness into daily living, and experience the abundance of life.

JC PandA and the Education Bureau are collaborating to host the “I Have Arrived” Parent-child Film Appreciation and Sharing Session Resource Package Dissemination Workshop for educational and helping professionals working in school settings.The workshop will introduce participants to the basic concepts of mindfulness, so that participants can have a grasp over the core foundations of mindfulness and better understand how to integrate mindfulness into school environments. Next, the ideologies behind mindful parenting will be explored, along with discussions on how to use mindful parenting to promote the mental wellbeing of parents and their children. The third part will be a live demontration of the “I Have Arrived” Parent-child Film Appreciation and Sharing Session, which includes the showing of the movie “I Have Arrived”, directive discussions and sharings about the movie, and the introduction to the Mindful Popcorn kit.

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.
