The transformative approach to learning nurtures the children’s changing consciousness and fosters autonomy and ownership in teachers. All aspects of learning and knowing are inter-linked and, by bringing about a shift in how children and teachers learn and experience the world, Abiding Heart Education advocates for self-transformation.

Abiding Heart's international teacher training was founded in 2017 and brings together a team of acclaimed academics and experts in education, Buddhism, developmental science, neuroscience, and the arts. By fusing Buddhist worldview, meditation and application with Steiner / Waldorf methodology and developmental science, we have created a unique children’s transformative pedagogy that gives equal weight to the intellectual, affective and action domains.

A team of experts and teaching practitioners conduct research that informs the teacher training curriculum and methodology as well as the children’s curricular content and learning approach. A main outcome of this work is a transformative experiential Buddhist teacher training centre, which caters for international and local communities. We offer both in-person and online courses in the Abiding Heart Education™️ approach. Owing to the global pandemic, all our courses are currently online.
