February - March
Month 6 Activities
Activity 1
During each month, in between our classroom weekends you are required to participate in this online discussion board.
There is a minimum requirement of 12 posts per month, which averages out at 3 posts per week.
There will be questions set by the course director which you will need to answer and please also use the discussion board to interact with each other, and respond to each other's posts.
Activity 2
Preparation for 20 minute teaching practice -
Covering content from Week 1 and 2 of your Class
All details regarding this are in the video which I emailed to you.
This does not need to be submitted but will be used as Teaching Practice instead of delivering a meditation on our next class weekend.
Activity 3
Meditation Recordings
Please submit your recording of the Expanded Awareness Meditation. This should last minimum of 23 minutes.
To do this please use the 'voice recorder' style app on your phone and then send the recording via email (not through this course website) to info@irishmindfulnessacademy.ie. The submission deadline for this is 10th March 2024.
Activity 4
Reflective Journal
This is for your own personal use which will aid with reflexive thinking and help you deepen your awareness and therefore your Mindfulness experience.
These reflections will also be of importance later on as you may wish to share some of these insights with your students, when you begin teaching Mindfulness, as often times early Mindfulness experiences are forgotten, unless documented.
Gratitude
An attitude of gratitude offers significant psychological, physical and social benefits. These benefits provide motivation to complete your Gratitude Journal on a daily basis by entering five things you are grateful for each day. These should be different things each day.
You need to print 4 copies of this, one for each week. This journal is for your own personal use but you should bring it along to each months classroom weekend where you may choose to share some entries from it.
Activity 5
Reflection on Learning
A requirement for successful completion of each month's module is that students reflect on their learning as they progress through the year.
There is a requirement to send one 'Reflection on Learning' each month.
This must be completed and submitted electronically by
10th March 2024
