The Center for Mindfulness and Empathy Education sponsored a mini-residency with Daniel Rechtschaffen of the Omega Institute. During his three days at Harley, he met with many grade-level classes, as well as faculty and administrators, and then led a day-long workshop on Mindfulness & Education.
- Daniel leading a session with our Third Graders
- Breathing, drawing attention to what happens, and finding focus
- Morning break time on the Saturday workshop
- Goodies in the back for physical sustenance
- Time to chat one on one
- The Briggs Center was the right space for the workshop, given the incredible turn out!
Here is a brief clip of Daniel opening the late morning session: Daniel discussing results from practicing mindfulness

We were truly inspired by his presentation and by the involvement of Harley parents, faculty, and professionals from the Rochester community!
