Janice Martellucci: Meditation for Transitions

Our guest this week is Janice Martellucci, Executive Director of Peace in Schools. As millions of students get ready to head back to school in the Northern Hemisphere, she brings us a meditation to meet transitions and new places with courage and curiosity.

Regardless of the type of transition you might be facing, this meditation is designed to help you:

Notice the emotions that arise as you approach this change

Stay present to what you're experiencing with care, especially if you're feeling fear or resistance

Offer support to yourself and others

Janice Martellucci is the Executive Director of Peace in Schools and an educator focused on uplifting the agency and wellbeing of young people.
