Bringing Mindfulness To Those Who Need It Most
In January we are launching a 31-day Mindfulness Practice challenge, as a way of supporting the wonderful work for the Everyone Project (it is also way to refresh your mindfulness practice for the new year to come!!).
The Everyone Project is a charity that was set up as an offshoot of the Mindfulness Association. It had become increasingly clear to us that despite our aim to make mindfulness accessible to all, many people were struggling to access courses and missing out on the benefits and support it can bring.
The Everyone Project was set up with the purpose to make mindfulness accessible to those who need it most. We know that the benefits of mindfulness can be life-changing, yet many people face barriers, be they financial pressures, social issues, or personal realities, that prevent them from accessing the courses and training that could so benefit them.
And so the idea was born of offering our Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC) at no cost to allow as many people as possible to engage in practicing mindfulness. The idea is to help disadvantaged and isolated groups, and those living with multiple stressors, to connect with mindfulness and to help them flourish and achieve their true potential.
The Mission
At the Everyone Project, we set ourselves the goal of giving the gift of mindfulness so that everyone in society has the opportunity to flourish. This might seem like a tall order, but it is something we commit to, one person at a time, echoing how mindfulness deals with each moment at a time!
The work we offer is guided by two core aims:
-
- Advancing education and health by making mindfulness and related skills available in line with the Mindfulness Association Approach.
- Advancing scientific understanding by researching the impact of mindfulness interventions to inform future developments.
The Future of the Project
The Everyone Project works because of the selfless commitment of our teachers, organisers and wider team, who offer their skills for free. This approach is imbued with the attitudes of kindness and compassion that are at the heart of the Mindfulness Association and the work has brought the benefit of mindfulness to many.

However, the work of the Everyone Project is far from over and it will require support from others if it is to continue to help people access mindfulness courses and flourish. If you would like to support the work, why not sign up for our 31-Day Charity Mindfulness Challenge here and help those who really need the support access this wonderful practice?
