Alysha Powell, Founder of APMEE is looking to fund first ever Transformative Mediation for Kids here in Charleston, SC
Hi I’m Alysha Powell the founder of APMEE Transformative Meditation For Kids and Classrooms. Please help me help kids!
A teacher myself I know the benefits of meditation in the classroom for increased attention, better attendance and improved mental health.
Over the past two years we have developed APMEE Transformative Meditation (ATM) as a scalable meditation program for schools; the first of its kind for Meditation-Based Learning.
We trialed the program in Washington DC where teachers loved it (and needed it too!) while monitoring positive outcomes for kids in the classroom. This non-traditional meditation program includes activities, journaling, games and more, allowing kids to focus on academia subject matter and reflect on their learning and personal growth as a scholar in a fun and engaging way. We strive to give students an experience that is not temporary and for the moment, but one that will truly impact them from the long-term; helping them uncover their triggers and pain-points, getting to the roots and using meditation to help empower them through to positive solutions.
We are raising funds to launch a regional program for schools in my hometown of Charleston SC and then are poised to expand this valuable APMEE tool statewide and then nationally.
