Today, we're sharing our immense gratitude for everyone who works directly with Shanthi Project: our incredible staff, board, and volunteers. Whether in classrooms, workplaces, community events, or local businesses, you'll find them spreading the benefits of mindfulness with joy, care, and true enthusiasm. Each and every day, we're inspired by their dedication to our mission—they are the backbone of Shanthi Project!

The pre-Thanksgiving shout-outs continue! Next up, we have our wonderful grantors and community partners.

As a community-focused organization, we're beyond grateful to have these supporters and collaborators on our side. From day one, our grantors and partners have understood the importance of our mission—and, as always, their help continues to be instrumental in fueling and strengthening our work. We couldn't do it without you!

In the lead-up to Thanksgiving, we're sharing our gratitude for all those who make our mission possible—which means many, many thanks are due!

First up, we want to thank our partner school district administrators, student counselors, and classroom teachers. Without you, our in-school programming would never reach thousands of students each year. It's due to your invaluable participation, and your belief in our mission, that we're able to share mindfulness with so many young people around the Lehigh Valley.

Keep an eye on our socials—we'll be sending out lots more thank-yous as the week goes on!

We're sorry to share that our upcoming Mindful Monday on November 24th has been cancelled. But have no fear—you can still join us in the month of December! Our Monday morning meditation sessions are one of our favorite programs to run at our space in Easton, so we hope you'll join us before the year comes to a close. As always, you can find and RSVP to our workshops right here on our calendar:

Join Shanthi Project at our location in Easton, PA, for educational events, meditation series, children's workshops, and lots more, all centered around building mindfulness in the community.

We'd like to send a special THANK YOU to County Of Lehigh for their incredible support and long-standing partnership. Their commitment to enhancing mental health and well-being over the years has allowed us to provide mindfulness education to many thousands of students across the Bethlehem Area, East Penn, and Whitehall-Coplay school districts. We are grateful to stand with them in creating more resilient, kind, and compassionate communities.

If you do one thing today, read this article by The Morning Call! Highlighting our work at Clearview Elementary in Bethlehem Area School District, this story is a true testament to the undeniable power of mindfulness.

Teachers and administrators share how our in-class mindfulness programming has been invaluable in creating a mindful school environment — one where students are building social-emotional skills to last them a lifetime. Fourth grader Chloe says it best: "You can use the breathing techniques anywhere. You can always focus on the right here, right now."

Give it a read below!

We feel lucky to be cultivating such a wonderful community of intention, wellness, and calm at our space in Easton. These photos from last week’s Qigong workshop, led by instructor Jocelyn, show a glimpse into the energy at our class — it really was something special!

This Qigong workshop was just the first in a two-part series, so if you missed it, you have a chance to join us again on Wednesday, November 19th. We also have a mindfulness class for children coming up this Saturday morning! Head to ShanthiProject.org/events to learn more about these two programs + register.

We have a fun and exciting children's workshop coming up next week in Easton! In this installment of Shanthi Project's Mindful Making for Kids series, our group will be making bracelets with a "touchstone" or "anchor" to carry with them as a reminder to stay present and breathe.

This will be a relaxed, creative environment for children to learn about mindfulness, and we're looking forward to hosting it soon! Learn more below, then reserve a spot for your kid(s) at ShanthiProject.org/events.
