Compassion Room

The Compassion Room supports and guides participants during their lunch break to a greater awareness of healthy love & compassion for self and others in the school community. Small group conversations, and activities i.e. yoga, energy work, meditation, conflict resolution, a bit of drawing and painting, lead to a safer more supportive method of community building, decreasing the reliance on traditional detention and suspension. This is a unique volunteer program offering daily free time workshops for small groups of students, and small groups of teachers. The purpose of the program is to support learning and practicing various ways of understanding mindfulness, and self responsibility to build safe and supportive community. We want to make punishment the old and useless method of building community.
