This paper reflects on the growth and learning opportunities for educators offered by a confinement as severe as the one experienced by the Covid-19 health emergency in 2020. In order to do so, we will focus on the need for a more prudent, more attentive, more ecological and more measured behaviour as an educational key in all teachers in an ontological, epistemological and methodological way. We propose that it is essential for teachers to do serious work in transmitting to their students an appreciation of silence and restraint, largely reinforced by meditative states. In this way, we will do our best to facilitate for our students the acquisition of a high degree of attention to themselves, the others and the world around them. Finally, it is proposed the used of haiku as a tool to reach a better understanding of the ideas explained previously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
