A Sense of Presence
What does it mean to be fully present? Is it possible to be here in this moment with you and not be distracted by my “to-do” lists or the ever-emerging messages piercing notifications through my many devices and platforms?
|
Research around going “tech-free” for even a short while suggests improved memory, increased creativity, decreased stress, and the experience of fewer sleep disturbances. When we stop to fully engage in a moment, a conversation, or an activity, especially in this hyper-technological world full of distractions, we increase the possibility of becoming more aware of our emotions, noticing body sensations and what they may mean to us. For children, having time to process what is happening inside themselves without external provocation is an essential aspect of our purpose as a school.

"Goodness can flower only in freedom. It cannot bloom in the soil of persuasion in any form, or under compulsion, nor is it the outcome of reward. It does not reveal itself when there is any kind of imitation or conformity, and it cannot exist when there is fear."
