InStill Mindfulness is cultivating a mindful world for all with kindness, compassion, and care, through education, action, and community.

In the seven years we've been doing this, we've made it possible for thousands of people in the New River Valley to experience the benefits of mindfulness. This is what some of them have said:

• Thank you for this opportunity, as it has changed my life.
• You are creating a very positive opportunity for healing in our divisive society and I wish you and your co-facilitators much much success.
• Thank you! You’ve helped me to change my life.    
• There was so much wonderful material that I will and am going back to daily. I love the small classes.
• A breakthrough occurred in me while taking this course.
• This has opened my eyes to how very important mindfulness is to life.   
  
  

Our current programming includes five areas that rely on support from people like you:

Community Service at the CalfeeInStill Center for Wellbeing: At the beginning of 2023, InStill moved from Floyd to Pulaski to open the InStill Center for Wellbeing, where we aim to provide a broad array of free and donation-based offerings through the center while engaging with our community through outreach and community service. 

InSpire: Our InSpire mindfulness communities meet regularly to mindfully share ideas, experiences, and practices. Meetings are free to attend, and we need plenty of support to continue them.

InStill Mindfulness online community: We provide the tools for people to cultivate their own mindfulness-based experiences in this community that offers a broad range of ways to engage, including guided practices, online gatherings, poetry, and much more. The community is free to join, so we need your support to help keep it going.

InSchoolsInSchools: We deliver an in-depth mindfulness training program for K-12 professionals. Our InSchools programming has been supported by several foundations, and through generous donations from people like you. 

InSide: We are committed to serving all members of our community, and aim to provide mindfulness training opportunities in all areas of the justice system. We have recently completed a pilot mindfulness training program with the Radford City Police, and with your support will begin offering it in other precincts soon.

Your support enables us to continue cultivating a mindful world for all, and a more mindful world means a better world for us, our children, and the planet. And everybody wants that.

***All donations until we reach $9,000 are being matched, so your gift will be doubled!***

Thank you for your support.
