Mission
TO BRING MINDFULNESS-BASED PRACTICES TO SYSTEM-INVOLVED AND OTHER MARGINALIZED YOUTH FOR THEIR HEALING AND EMPOWERMENT. WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOUTH REQUIRE A PREDICTABLE, SAFE, SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT TO HEAL. WE COMBINE YOGA, MEDITATION, AND EXPRESSIVE ARTS AS PART OF ESSENTIAL, THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS TO REGULATE TRAUMATIZED INDIVIDUALS' NERVOUS SYSTEMS AND BRING THEM BACK INTO BALANCE. OUR MODEL INCLUDES SPECIALLY TRAINED TRAUMA-INFORMED TEACHERS WHO BRING TOOLS FOR SELF-AWARENESS AND SELF-REGULATION TO MOVE YOUTH FROM VULNERABILITY INTO RESILIENCE. WE ARE LEADERS IN THE MOVEMENT TO ENSURE MINDFULNESS-BASED PRACTICES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL CREATING INNOVATIVE COLLABORATIONS WITHIN SYSTEMS THAT SERVE YOUTH.
