Our vision is to make evidence-based mindfulness training available to all. To help people of every age to understand what mindfulness is and to give them the chance to try it out for themselves.

We believe that one of the best ways of putting this vision into practice is to develop mindfulness training as part of the mainstream school curriculum.

Why Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a helpful life skill that can be learned by anyone at any age. It is based on being aware of your breathing and your body.

Mindfulness can be practised in several different ways, depending on your needs at the time. It helps us appreciate good things in our daily life, as well as helping us cope with the difficulties.
