The Abiding Heart Education™️ approach is centred on the experiential Buddhist learning and contemporary pedagogies for kindergarten through to class 8 and it is also of particular interest to those who seek professional and inner transformation. Our courses combine Buddhist studies with a transformative and experiential learning approach to learning that is woven through the Waldorf pedagogy. We offer full-time kindergarten and primary teacher education courses, Experiential Buddhist Foundation Studies, and also short courses and retreats. Our courses are offered as a hybrid of online and in-person classes.

 

We offer kindergarten and Primary to Early Secondary (age 6 to 14) teaching diploma courses which interweave academic lectures, practical curriculum studies, Himalayan Buddhist paubha painting and charya dance classes, experiential contemplative art, meditation classes, and teaching placements. We also offer parts of our teacher training as stand-alone courses which are open to all. The curriculum fuses the live experiential Buddhist tradition which emphasises applying the knowledge acquired to everyday experience, with Steiner/Waldorf methodology and developmental science, giving rise to a unique and transformative children’s pedagogy. 

 

The Abiding Heart Education courses are for those who seek inner transformation and to those involved in: teaching and teacher education (kindergarten, Primary to Early Secondary (age 6 to 14), middle school, special and inclusive education); children’s social care, child and adult welfare; children’s health care, psychology and therapy; students and researchers of the mentioned disciplines; parents; contemplative traditions based schools around the world; Buddhist monastic schools; holistic centres with a children’s programme.
