Got stress? Join mindful parenting class
by Mary Agee, mindfulness coordinator
Six-week mindful parenting and grandparenting class begins Monday, Sept. 10. The cost is $90. Click here to register.
Middle School Director of Counseling and Resources Helen Tarleton and Mindfulness Coordinator Mary Entrekin Agee will facilitate a Mindful Parenting Class, which is open to the Nashville community and will take place 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Mondays beginning Monday, Sept. 10 and ending Monday, Oct. 22 in the Gordon Multipurpose Room. There will not be class Monday, Oct. 15 due to Faculty Inservice.
Over the course of six weeks, we take time to build a safe and supportive community as we explore mindfulness resources and tools that can help us:
- become less reactive and more responsive in our parenting
- be aware of our own and others’ emotional and nonverbal signals
- choose communication methods that lead us toward collaboration rather than disconnection
Additional opportunities to practice together continue once you’ve completed the course. This testimonial from a previous participant gets at the heart of what we’ve found to be a powerful part of creating this community:
“Of all the mindfully-based stress reduction classes I’ve taken, I found this one to be the most grounding in large part because we are all parents. That fact alone binds this community in a way that I’ve never experienced before. Meditation itself is a solitary act and this class moved me out of my head and into a welcoming circle of parents. Whether we found inner peace remains to be seen, but we now have this class to help guide us and that is warm comfort and support in this chaos we call life. Thanks again for a lovely experience.”
The cost is $90 per participant for the full six weeks. Our class size is limited, so register now to reserve a seat. Please contact Middle School Director of Counseling and Resources Helen Tarleton with questions.
