Serenity Space: A Meditation Corner

Help me give my students a relaxing corner where they can recenter their emotions.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gar's classroom raised $518

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Creating a meditation corner in your educational environment is an excellent initiative to support students' mental health and enhance their readiness to learn. This tranquil space will be equipped with a selection of calming music, such as Mindful Piano: Music for Meditation and Calm Within: Music for Relaxation of Body and Mind, accessible through a computer setup in the corner. To ensure an immersive and distraction-free experience, the area will also feature the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Multi-System Gaming Headset, which boasts premium Hi-Fi drivers and active noise cancellation. Comfortable seating options like bean bags, cushions, or a small couch will be added to encourage relaxation in various postures, from sitting to lying down.

The meditation corner's ambiance will be enhanced with soft, dimmable lighting and decor such as plants, wall hangings, and soft rugs, creating a visually tranquil environment that invites relaxation.

This setting not only supports individual quiet time but can also accommodate structured guided meditation sessions led by trained staff or through a guided meditation app. Ensuring that the computer is equipped with bookmarks to reputable online mindfulness resources or pre-loaded applications for meditation and stress management makes this corner a versatile space for mental rejuvenation.

The ultimate goal of this meditation corner is to provide students with a dedicated space to manage stress, reset emotionally, and return to their educational activities with renewed focus and energy. This initiative will not only aid in reducing student stress but also improve their overall emotional regulation, focus, and performance in school, making it an invaluable addition to the educational environment.
