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

In the five 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:

  • I’ve waited my whole life for this.
  • Thank you for this opportunity, as it has changed my life.
  • I didn't realize how much I needed this, especially this year.
  • Peers are noticing the benefits.
  • You are creating a very positive opportunity for healing in our divisive society and I wish you and your co-facilitators much much success.
  • This is by far the most meaningful and impactful professional development training I have ever completed in my 17 years as a teacher. It has been transformative both personally and professionally.
  • Thank you! You’ve helped me to change my life.    
  • It was the most comprehensive professional development I’ve ever participated in.    
  • 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.
  • I tell everyone at school that this class is Amazing.
  • I would recommend it for everyone.
  • AMAZING! Insightful, excellent instructors.
  • I appreciated so many things: the expertise of the leaders, the loving supportive community created, the variety of approaches and exercises related to mindfulness, and the wealth of resources to which you are connecting us.
  • I left our meeting feeling so blessed and so full of gratitude for being able to share space with each one of you. A gift, to be sure.
  • I'm learning so much, and being reminded of so many mindfulness exercises and moments from memory, in your course. Bravo!
  • 🙂❤️
  • This was amazing in expected and very unexpected ways.    
  • Mindfulness is my new crack & I don’t want no rehab.    
  • The quality, wisdom and energy of the teachers is inspiring.    
  • This has opened my eyes to how very important mindfulness is to life.   
  • I really recommend listening to these classes because they can have a huge effect on you.   
  • This was the most valuable program I have ever participated in.    
  • It will change your life.

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


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.

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.


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.

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 $6,000 are being matched,
so your gift will be doubled!***


Thank you for your support.
