Our purpose
We aim to elevate the human experience.
We do this by offering mindfulness training to support human flourishing.
More specifically, we work with individuals and groups to explore how the mind works – its strengths and weaknesses – using evidence-based techniques to improve subjective wellbeing and cultivate healthy habits and beliefs.
Our beliefs
In life, happiness is not guaranteed but it is possible.
Our communities and our planet also stand to benefit from our individual wellbeing (interconnectedness).
Our environment has evolved much faster than our minds and bodies, leaving us ill-equipped to navigate certain situations of the modern world. Mindfulness is an essential counterbalance to our relationships with technology and material consumption.

Secular version of four noble truths:
- We are surrounded by stimulus to provoke craving.
- Craving imparts dissatisfaction. Dissatisfactions imparts unhappiness.
- The source of unhappiness is craving. The absence of craving is peace.
- Through mindfulness, we come to understand that we already have everything we need. That we are whole.
