Abiding Heart Education Scotland Abiding Heart Education is children's pedagogical approach for developing compassion and wisdom.

The Abiding Heart Education™️ is a new approach to children’s education that embraces contemplative paths of inner development that are rooted in ancient wisdom. The aim of Abiding Heart is to educate towards inner freedom through a journey of re-discovering our innate goodness, our true nature. This unique approach is centred on experiential and contemplative learning, fostering a process of transformation and the development of wisdom and compassion.

​We offer full time Experiential Contemplative Kindergarten and Primary (class 1-8) teacher training courses, Experiential Contemplative Foundation Studies, and other personal & professional development courses and retreats for educators, teachers, parents and anyone caring for children, including their own inner child. The Abiding Heart Education™️ approach has been conceptualised and developed by Dr Meyrav Mor since 2000. Embedded in this approach is a method to create bespoke curriculums (for kindergarten to class 12) and teacher training courses that meet the specific needs of local communities from diverse global backgrounds. A working example of this adaptable approach is Abiding Heart's bespoke Experiential Buddhist Education for Buddhist communities around the world, which we developed and implemented since 2017 in the Himalayas.

At Abiding Heart Education, we teach in a way that reaches the whole person. Our approach is contemplative and deeply transformative, moving beyond conventional pedagogy to help pupils and teachers sit with life’s complexities. Through teacher education diplomas, and ongoing mentoring and retreats for educators, we cultivate a way of teaching grounded in experience and practice, contemplative study and the arts. This grounding can be found within many ancient wisdom traditions, or simply through a personal sense of meaning. Ultimately, we are working towards a raising of consciousness: a way of teaching and learning that develops wisdom, discernment and critical thinking, while helping people meet the world, and each other, with greater patience, care and understanding. Our courses are for anyone wishing to deepen their journey of self-cultivation: educators, parents, therapists, medical professions, carers, social workers and anyone caring for children.

How do we raise children who can think clearly, question ideas thoughtfully, and engage with the world with wisdom and compassion?
In this article, I reflect on the role of education in shaping not only what children learn, but how they learn to think. I explore current debates in education, the importance of understanding history in its full complexity, and why cultivating discernment, curiosity, and independent thinking matters now more than ever.

Education is not merely about transferring information; at its best, it equips young people with the intellectual tools necessary to think independently, evaluate claims critically, and navigate a complex world. Schooling influences not only what children learn, but also how they come to interpret i...
