PROGRAMS
Listed on this page are some sample outlines of workshops that we offer. We find that each community or organization has a unique set of needs. We like to meet in-person or over the phone to discuss what type and length of workshop or training might work best for your environment.
We have worked in both the private and public sectors, collaborating with healthcare, education and corporate institutions.
Programs are tailored to fit the needs and timeframe of our partner organizations.

IMAGINING OUR PROGRAM IN YOUR SPACE
Corporate & Healthcare
We offer programs for all levels within a company or institution: executives, managers and front-line employees can all benefit from mindfulness practice. When first introducing mindfulness to an organization, we have had success beginning with a pilot introductory workshop and then scaling as desired.
Trainings typically begin by fostering conviction and understanding in the participant about the benefits of mindfulness. Emphasis is then placed on experiencing and developing a personal practice for each participant. As capabilities are built, this practice then extends into the broader work environment.
Educational Institutions (K-12 & post secondary)
We offer workshops and in-classroom trainings for teachers, administrators, students and parents at all education levels.
Our education-based programs vary depending on the needs of the institution, ranging from one part trainings, to multi week workshops, to curriculum integration. Program funding can sometimes be a concern, when needed we have worked closely with administrators to put together grant applications and proposals to school boards.
Contact us to discuss what training and configuration is right for you.
