New Documentary Teaches Mindfulness Skills to Children

Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Buddhist Monk, beloved teacher to many Westerners and Easterners, author, and activist, is in the process of releasing a new documentary that teaches mindfulness skills to children.

It is “an animated feature documentary film based on the book ‘Planting Seeds: Practicing Mindfulness with Children by Thich Nhat Hanh & The Plum Village Community.”

I can’t wait to check out this film when it is released!  For now, here is the trailer:
