WHY
Our mission is to support individuals and families in developing awareness, understanding, and techniques that promote emotion regulation, presence, joy, and peace. We teach explicitly how to pay attention to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations in order to choose our response to life.
Mindfulness helps us pay attention to our inner and outer experiences with acceptance and kindness. As mindful parents, we can be more curious and open to understanding what our children are feeling and experiencing with more responsiveness and less reactiveness.
As mindful youth, we can learn and practice tools to help ourselves in contentment and regulation. As mindful families, we can come together and learn how to build connection and calm that we all deserve to learn and live.
