Inner Explorer created Mission Moments to keep you updated on the impact your support and generosity has on those we serve. We want to share not only program developments, but also the stories that warm our hearts and fuel our mission to reach ten million mindful children by 2020. A goal we accomplished because of you.
Thank you!
Reflecting on 2020, one word (among many) that comes to mind is resilience.
The year began with the spread of the pandemic; marked by panic, uncertainty and a collective sense of unease as we began what we’d come to know as our new normal for the remainder of the year.
Then were the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, urging all of us to take a deeper look at how we are approaching social equity and racial injustice within our own communities.
Finally, election season was upon us – and the divide of our nation more apparent than ever. Heightened stress and anxiety plagued us all, on top of the already intense year.
Despite the turmoil, we couldn’t help but notice the momentum brought about by these events – and just how resilient and powerful communities are when they come together.
In the spirit of sparking positive change in our communities, we kickstarted the #MyInnerCompass movement; encouraging us all to follow our own inner compass every day. By doing this together, we create space for empathy, compassion and connection to flourish in our communities.
As we move forward in mindfulness, we strive to bring our programs to as many communities as possible. In challenging times, children, teachers and families are turning to mindfulness to find relief.
To continue expanding our programs – especially in times of crisis, we need your help.
This holiday season, consider giving the gift of mindfulness to those who need it most by donating to Inner Explorer. Your support is essential in creating a mindful world.
