Why Mindfulness for Children?
Just like adults, children are often overwhelmed. Many sleep poorly, find it difficult to concentrate, and are often restless or experience stress. The "on" button always seems to work, but where is the "stop" button? By coming into contact with mindfulness at a young age, children learn to observe better, concentrate, connect with their bodies, and find calmness.

  • Mindfulness Child Trainer Course

    This teacher training course is designed for those who would like to teach mindfulness to children aged 4 to 12, using the Method Eline Snel program (Mindfulness Matters!) in schools, institutions, or private practice. The 6-day AMT Basic Course will be conducted in English over three weekends, and will be led by Angie Bucu

  • Method Eline Snel®

    The Eline Snel Method® is universal, practical, comprehensive, and compassionate. Eline developed all the training programs for children, adolescents, and professionals working with young people based on real-life practice.

    The roots of both the training and the development of the Eline Snel Method lie in Eline’s 30 years of experience as a therapist, mindfulness, and compassion trainer. This expertise merges with the ancient wisdom of the Vipassana meditation tradition, bringing it to life in a meaningful way.
