SheerMind recently completed the first of the two four-week courses at Gardens Commercial High School in Cape Town. This was our first formal schools programme, and it was a great success!
The response from the 5 matrics that we worked with was phenomenal, and a lot of work was put in by each of the students as they worked to get to grips with the determination and discipline that is required to make a success of mindfulness and meditation practice. In all the sessions, our focus was on developing our sense of self and personal responsibility, all the while making the tools of mindfulness and meditation practical and applicable to the different characters and needs that we face.

Our students were quickly able to see where it is in their lives that a more mindful approach could help, and were proactive in finding ways in which they could keep their focus and awareness on their core values and goals.
We look forward to working with this group in the second course, which focuses mainly on the mental approach and finer details of meditation and visualization!
