BREATHE TOGETHER, BREATHE FOR JUSTICE

This is the vision and wish of our children made into a reality in which adults practice more and stress less. Breathe Together Breathe for Justice is an annual mindfulness initiative that encourages the value and power of intergenerational mindfulness practice with as little as 10 minutes of Mindfulness every day and taking steps towards advancing social justice every day.

Researchers have found that practicing mindfulness and meditation can improve your immune system, lower blood pressure and even change brain structure and function.

COVID-19 has created trauma on a global scale. While many of us have had the privilege of distancing, we have experienced feelings of significant loss, a great sense of vulnerability, and a whirlwind of challenging emotions, including fear and grief.
