Holistic supports to meet students' needs

More than Mindfulness

High school students and teachers are carrying a heavy load. From pandemic-impacted learning to addressing and correcting DEI issues, we are living in a time of uncertainty, imbalance, and transition. Now more than ever, we need to make classrooms places that foster care, curiosity, and calm.

That’s where Inner Strength comes in. Our programs support whole person wellness, with emotional literacy, systems thinking, contemplative reflection, and compassion for self and other. Teens gain self-confidence as they learn to work with an integrated toolbox of mindful awareness, kindness building, social-emotional skillsets, positive habit building, a focus on purpose and potential, the science of brain development, & an understanding of complex cultural shifts. These are the skills and perspectives our leaders of tomorrow need. 

Let's stay in touch!
