THIS YEARS FOLKS TO KNOW ABOUT 

This year we are supporting the Crim Foundation in Flint Michigan and their Mindfulness in Schools Programs. These programs serve and support the children and families affected by the Flint Water Crisis. In April 2014, 100,000 people, 9,000 of them under the age of 6, were exposed to lead in their drinking water. The resulting lead poisoning has had long term effects which have led to significant rises in anxiety, depression and behavioral issues that these children will carry with them for life. The Crim Foundation is helping these children and families to live with the realities that have come from this experience and through their mindfulness programing,  giving them ways to carry these challenges forward with more equanimity, ease and grace.

MORE ABOUT MINDFULNESS SKILLS 

Mindfulness skills give our children the tools they need to take on their social and academic lives more skillfully. By learning foundational communication, relationship, self awareness, collaboration and self management skills, our children learn and understand more about themselves, others, their environments and their world, These learnings help them to to develop the essential competencies needed to navigate their experiences and lives in the deeply skillful ways that make their lives and ultimately our world, a more thoughtful, balanced and better place. We can think of no greater and lasting gift to give to our children and to leave to our world than skillful, thoughtful  people who have the natural capacity to care.
