What Is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the practice of present moment awareness with curiosity and compassion, so we can choose what to do next.

 - attributed to Ruth King and Dr. Christopher Willard

​Why Mindfulness?

​At Space Between, we believe that mindfulness-based social emotional learning is a life skill. We know that mindfulness practices can support the social and emotional well-being of students and the adults connected to them. Research has shown that practice with rhythm and repetition, mindfulness can increase focus, emotion management, self-awareness, and compassion for self and others. With mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, and depression on the rise, practices to support wellness are more important than ever. This is why we share mindfulness with the students and communities that we serve. They deserve to thrive and feel a sense of alignment, authenticity, and connection.

“This program helps you to be better equipped in staying in the present moment, restructuring your inner critic, and learning how to calm intrusive thoughts. You become more in tune with your own thoughts and inner voice.”

“People should take it if they want to gain valuable knowledge on how to better understand and appreciate yourself, or just if you need to learn how to manage emotions better.”
​
“I can see that I’ve been able to be more self-compassionate and just feeling better about myself. When I started this class, I was kinda at a low point and really just needed all the support I could get and now I’m doing the best I have in months.”
