mrs. neal's
not-so-conventional
meditation class
for teens
Nancy Tamburini Neal, Project Manager for
The Blessings Foundation, has been teaching meditation and stress management classes to teenagers since 1994.
With an eclectic background in Theology, Psychology, and Graphic Design, Nancy incorporates that 'Divine Spark' we all possess with the power of the subconscious mind, creative thinking and expression, and ways to safely manage stress, in this unique meditation program she conceived, created, and specifically developed for teens.
As a teacher at a vocational high school in West Central Ohio, she was asked about the source of her creativity by her graphic arts students. She explained the concept of meditation as a tool to tap into creativity on a subconscious level. Her students were interested in learning more about meditation. With permission from her supervisor, Nancy taught her first meditation class to teenagers.
Interest increased greatly following that first class and Nancy began presenting the class to students school-wide at the request of many other teachers. Students named her program “mrs. neal’s not-so-conventional meditation class for teens.”
This unique class has grown into a full multi-lesson program as a result of students' questions, curiosity, and eagerness to learn, and Nancy's passion to give students healthy tools to use in their lives.
