Argos, your closing words during your meditation were incredibly genuine, in your non verbal and verbal expression. Thank you for the vibrational change agent that you are.
Thanks for your practice and kind words!
One thing that I’m already using in work is telling students that being bored is OK, sometimes it seems that greatest fears for some kids are boredom and no wifi connection. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Being bored is so challenging to children and adults! Thanks for supporting your students in this way.
Thank you for candidly sharing your passion and commitment to mindfulness in a holistic and equity approach. Thank you for encouragement to keep going, keep connecting, keep practicing – that sometimes showing up is enough. This presentation exudes hope for trasition to better schools and a better world.
Wow Irene, thanks for your kind words. i’m humbled.
Argos! Such a pleasure to be back on line with you. Your knowledge and heart shine through in your powerful message of acceptance and examination of the inner scape. Thank you for your amazing heart and dedication! Empowering vulnerability. Cultural responsiveness!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks Valerie! 💗💗💗
Very powerful interview thank you. Just showing up is very powerful. I am enough as I am is really trasformative to learn and teach.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks Sue! Showing up in authentic ways is so powerful in particular when doing this work 💗💗💗
Than you so much for sharing. That reminds me to be more mindful all day long
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Mahalo Argos and Chris for sharing this important information for teachers and mental health workers. Argos was my Guiding Teacher for the course Mindful Teacher Essentials through MindfulSchools.org last year. I incorporate mindfulness daily in my 2nd grade classroom and my 3rd grade religion class(my 2nd graders from last year). It’s wonderful to observe my students being mindful on their own or utilizing the tools I have taught them in class in other areas of their life. Chris I did not read the bio’s before I started watching and read them later and I was wondering why your name sounded familiar. Now I know because I have your book Alphabreaths which my class loves! Thanks for the reminder of Self Nurturing which is so important for our field. Thank you both for all that you share with children and adults to help make our world a better place. Aloha
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks Val for your kind words and for your work with your students.
So many of your ideas resonated with me and my teaching of graduate students. I especially loved “throw a dance party”! In Hawaii we have an expression LIVE ALOHA! Listening to your presentation I realized that it means LIVE MINDFULLY! For a break in a long class my students would turn on the music and one student would teach hula. Great movement activity, the laugher engendered breathing and energy, and we all celebrated the beautiful cultural diversity of Hawaii. I want to thank the University of Hawaii medical school for bringing mindfulness training to our program and I want to say mahalo to Argos Gonzalez for shoring your passion! LIVE ALOHA!
Aloha! And please continue throwing dance parties!
I have enjoyed both this summit & the Mindfulness In Healthcare summit and as I work in hospitals- teaching art : the wisdom of both summits blended together have been of great benefit to me / the patients that I work with and the multiple hospital teams that I am apart of.
My lasting takeaway from this talk is ” just showing up with a compassionate heart is enough ” . Thank you both for the work that you do for our world.
🙏🏼 And please continue doing the worm you’re doing!
Thanks for sharing your experiences with Mindfulness, I personally enjoyed the last exercise, I will share it with my students. I also understand your passion for Mindfulness because I’m like you….
Greetings from Mexico City.
Thanks Isabel, I’m glad it can support you!
