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.

“Meditation is a gateway to infinite reflection, and reflection is what leads to success.”
“I have come out of this program much wiser and more open-minded.”
“I learned how much our brain is developing and how much we need to take care of it.”
I learned how to think calmly before I act. If I’m in a stressful situation, I now know to think and calm down instead of acting out on impulse.
I learned to be more in touch with myself.
I learned about the teenage brain and the different types of hormones that result from stress.
A mindfulness class can be beneficial as it teaches skills to manage stress, improve focus, and enhance overall well-being. It provides practical techniques to cultivate present-moment awareness, which can be valuable in navigating life’s challenges with greater resilience and mental clarity. My favorite part was interacting with others and reading the affirmation cards.
I learned about the different roles and different parts of the brain. I learned about various techniques to de-stress and de-clutter my mind in order to be a little more productive. It was an enjoyable and helpful class and I’m glad to have been a part of it.
I liked that my instructor always had something new to do with us everyday. It wasn’t boring.
I thought that the mindfulness program was extremely beneficial and contributed to me maintaining a positive mental state all throughout the semester.
After a highly successful 3-month mindfulness and innovation training, in partnership with XPRIZE Connect youth program, two of our talented students are going on to LA to XPRIZE Visioneering.
At this 30th year celebration event, an illustrious brain trust will come together to identify which large scale global issues XPRIZE should set their sights on to solve. Our youth will compete against other youth teams from around the nation to see whose innovation challenge holds the most promise. (And maybe they might even influence a future prize!)
