Celebrating and Supporting Diversity and Inclusion
We are an organization dedicated to diversity and inclusion. Being a place where people of all genders, sexual orientation, race, and background feel welcomed, included, and can share their strengths is vital to our success. We strive for all members of our community, including organizational staff, board members, and retreat teachers and mentors, to be well-informed and educated on issues of diversity. Before the retreat, we ask all staff to read a list of resources we have put together to build our capacity in these areas.

Please describe any background or training you have working with issues of diversity and inclusion:

Please share with us ways that you identify in terms of race and ethnicity, physical ability, sexual orientation, gender, class, and any other ways you celebrate your unique identity.

Supporting Outreach for the Retreats: We ask that retreat staff help spread the word about the retreats in your area and to your communities, as hearing from someone who themselves has benefited from mindfulness is often the best way for a teen or parent to learn about the retreats. Please let us know about groups / communities / schools where you could post flyers or present about the retreats.
