Our Story
At Mindful Passages, we believe in the transformative power of mindfulness and social-emotional learning to shape a brighter, more resilient future for young people. Our journey began with a vision to create inclusive spaces where students can learn, grow, and lead with empathy and purpose.
Our pilot project, Mindful Futures, launched in partnership with Moravian Academy in 2023. We are in phase one, dedicated to understanding students’ unique needs and aspirations. Through thoughtful research and engagement, we’re crafting a curriculum that integrates mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and leadership development to empower students in a meaningful way.
We’re excited to launch the Mindful Futures curriculum by February, marking the beginning of a new chapter in educational transformation. As we continue, our goal is to expand this vision to reach more schools, creating supportive, compassionate environments where every student can thrive reaping the benefits of Mindfulness.
