After teaching my Nature Meditation for Elementary School Students class since 2020, I realized from parents that they were also interested in having their children in higher grades participate as well. For this reason, I have created this class. No previous meditation experience is required for the class. 

- In the class, we will first learn about the benefits of meditation and go over some basic guidelines for the meditation. 

- Afterwards, for 10-15 minutes, the learners will be led through a guided meditation on a scene in nature. 

- Learners will focus on deep breathing and calmness through the meditation. 

- Oftentimes, we are told that meditation can be difficult, but it does not have to be! 

- In this class, the main focus will be on helping the learner feel relaxed and recharged. 

- When the meditation is done, if the learner likes, they may say how they feel, what they thought of the meditation, or any questions they have. 

- There are several different meditation stories which I have written, so if a learner chooses to take the class again, I will see if we can do a different story for that class.
