Training
Well being for Educators
Taking care of well-being is crucial for teachers and educators because they play a critical role in shaping the lives of their students. Educators who prioritize their own well-being are better equipped to manage the demands of their profession, remain motivated, and provide quality instruction.
High levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout can negatively impact a educator's performance, leading to decreased productivity, reduced job satisfaction, and increased turnover rates. Furthermore, educators who prioritize their well-being serve as positive role models for their students, emphasizing the importance of self-care and demonstrating healthy habits. Ultimately, educators who prioritize their well-being are better able to create a positive classroom environment, build strong relationships with their students, and promote academic success.
About
The main objective of the training is to provide participants with practical tools that will help them take care of their own and employees’ well-being during the working day. Using simple meditation and breathing techniques, and methods of taking care of nutrition (time, place and quality of meals), you will learn to calm down negative emotions, deal with stress and strengthen your immunity.
During the 5-day training you will learn methods of taking care of well-bing both from the perspective of the participant and the facilitator. You will learn how to lead a team and how to create optimal working conditions to strengthen your health and that of your employees.
The training method
We teach through experience: thanks to the designed activities, you will be able to experience the beneficial effects of meditation and breathing techniques already during the training. You will learn specific tools to use during the day. The training experience will be supported by theories, mini-lectures and activities to support individual and group reflection.

The Trainers
Magda Lewandowska
I am a dietitian and psychotraumatologist. I conduct trainings and workshops for women in the field of strengthening self-esteem and relations with the body and with food. In my work I use techniques such as Rapid Transformational Therapy, meditation and conscious breathing. I believe that we create our own reality. I show how to move from the victim mentality (in which we are often stuck because of the harm suffered in childhood) into the mentality of an adult, mature person who decides about his own life. More information about me and my workshops and individual processes can be found at www.magdalewandowska.pl
