Full Focus Commitment

Please note all of our programs and recommendations are curated for mindfulness teachers or schools with the ambition to have 20+ students.

Personalized Passion

Our program and courses are meant to serve and assist teachers as business guidelines. We work with teacher's to tap into their creativity and passion to design unique courses, business plans, and models to grow their community of students.

Get Started

The Modern Mindfulness Process:

Clarify Your Vision

What do you want to achieve through your teaching? Where do you want to be in 1, 2, 5, and 10 years? These are the questions we'll set out to answer together and create processes for continuous improvement to achieve every goal you set for yourself as well as your students.

The first stage of this is setting up your core offerings in a way that allows you to grow your teachings and community of students in a sustainable way.

Program Focus Areas:

Understand the importance of having a clear vision
Being able to articulate your vision and mission to yourself and others
Understanding how to prepare an elevator pitch and how to use it
Implementing quarterly, monthly, and weekly goals and knowing how to track them
Using your vision to set SMMART goals (Specific, Mindful, Measurable, Accurate,Realistic, Timely)

Finding Students

We help you define and build your audience personas. This entails deeply researching and thus knowing who you're serving and how you are engaging with them from their first moment of interest in mindfulness meditation.

Once these audiences are defined, we'll work with you to layout an action plan of how to position yourself and your brand to your different audience personas. Each persona needs to be targeted and communicated to in a way which resonates with them and highlights your most relevant courses and benefits.

Create The Irresistible Offer

Our Core values

Be mindful.

Practice what you preach and help our organization and our teachers by cultivating a peaceful life, working with sincere dedication, and gratitude for all the challenges that come our way.

Be Transparent.

Be radically honest and don’t hedge. Face the difficulties of life and work head-on, take the result, and move on wiser than you came.

Be Open.

Be flexible and allow new ideas and opportunities to flow freely. Disagree, debate, and challenge — but without ego. Commit to the path forward once it’s been chosen.

Be Safe.

Offer a safe-haven for all. Foster an environment where everyone can be open, honest, and vulnerable.

Be Selfless.

Your north-star is to reduce suffering and always prioritize the spread of mindfulness, not business. Be aware of selfless awareness, meet a person where they are, and practice patience.

See Your Shadows.

Vow to experience every shadow you hold near, and lead them to the light to ensure they don’t hold you back into the dark. Prioritize enlightenment over business.

The Five Challenges of Teaching Mindfulness

The Discrepancy of Money

There seems to be a collective shadow with teaching mindfulness and being ok with charging for our services.

People Still Don’t Know What the Heck it is

Most people in the US, even the world, don’t know what mindfulness is and even if they do, many times it’s still misunderstood.

Business Doesn’t Jive with Us

Most teachers just want to teach and don’t want to bother with such skills as marketing, customer service and sales.

Mindfulness Teachers Tend to Live in a Bubble

Many teachers are held back either from imposter’s syndrome or not being confident to not knowing how to make a living from teaching.

Mindfulness is Too Spooky

Most people still think mindfulness is spooky, fluffy, too spiritual or woo-woo.
