Heart-Mind 2019 Conference

Heart-Mind 2019 Conference

Our sold out Heart Mind 2019: The Art and Science of Calm conference featured the latest science and practice related to cultivating calm and balance in our lives – at home, school and in our community. In this one-day experiential conference, presenters explored evidence-informed ways to support children and youth in a fast-paced world and shared practical strategies that fit into our daily routines to reduce stress and promote well-being. Participants experienced the calming effects of mindfulness, nature, music, Indigenous knowledge, human connection, and more, while connecting with like-minded and like-hearted people. Together, we created moments to learn, laugh and be calm!

Maria LeRose returned as Conference Moderator. Keynote presenters included Marc Brackett, Carl Honoré, Susan Kaiser-Greenland, Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, Lorna Williams, and Scott Sampson.
