Tuning the Student Mind
The Tuning the Student Mind film and book explore the transformative power of meditation in education, challenging us to rethink teaching practices in a way that engages the whole student. What if learning integrated silence and self-inquiry alongside empirical analysis? How might education evolve if we nurtured both intellect and inner awareness? Following students as they incorporate meditation into their academic and personal lives, Tuning the Student Mind suggests that in an era driven by external exploration, the next great adventure may lie within—an exploration of consciousness that deepens learning, fosters personal growth, and redefines the classroom experience.
