Cultivating concentration, kindness and insight can lead to profound inner healing, transformation and growth.

Bad News & Good News
We received the sad news that Mindful Schools has gone out of business and gave its course certificate holders until June 1 to download content. The good news is that we have downloaded the content, including videos, of five of the courses. We are very proud that we helped more than 350 educators, including 10 "Year Long" leaders, be licensed to teach Mindful Schools curriculum. We will gather during the Mindful Community Collaboration Camp on Wednesday, July 31 from 7-8:30pm to discuss how this resource can be best preserved and utilized.
