Posting Guidelines – Facilitators PLEASE READ

You must have completed Sarah Wood Vallely’s Child Meditation Facilitators training to post here. You do not need to be certified, however. Child Meditation Facilitators, when posting on this blog you need to follow these guidelines.

You may post either a Profile, Upcoming Event, or an Update. And you don’t have to post a Profile before posting an event. Doesn’t matter.

Profile – basically a bio and explanation of what you do specifically in regards to teaching meditation to children.

Upcoming Event – Is a promotion of a meditation class you have planned. Time, location, and what your class will be about is listed here.

Update – This is an opportunity for you to let us know how you event went. Talk about the highlights and post some pictures if you can.

You can post as many of all three of these as you like. For example, you might want to post a new Profile every six months. The purpose of these posts is to lead readers back to you, so include your website and any other contact information you like.

You can also add your blog or a blog you like to the “Blog Role”, as long as it has something to do with teaching meditation to children. And add a book you recommend.

YOU MUST follow the format for each of the post types, Profile, Upcoming Event, and Update. Otherwise the post might be removed. You can find the format for each below:
