A mindful revolution for future generations
Lorraine Murray is the CEO of Connected Kids. Originally teaching adults meditation, she wanted to take these skills to young people. No courses or books were available at the time (20+ years ago), so she tested her theory taking meditation into schools so children could try these lifeskills, and was delighted to discover the benefits children experienced learning mindful skills.
She set up a program to start training adults to teach children meditation and branched out into working with autism, adhd and trauma.
