Why Mindful Living?
Mindful Living: The awareness that every thought, word and action affects you, the environment, and society. Mindfulness is a global principle uniting our world beyond borders, race, politics, religions, spiritualities and economics. Mindful Living is the practice of living daily with greater awareness that the choices we make impact every aspect of our lives. Learning the tools to live mindfully increases health, happiness and meaning while also reducing stress.
Challenge: Our current global climate of individualism, fear, disrespect, and isolation is destroying humankind and our planet globally. We are one human family woven together in an infinite tapestry beyond comprehension. We are not Lord over nature but in symbiosis with the natural world which we are destroying. As we destroy her we destroy ourselves. Her destruction is our own.
Opportunity: Herein lies a massive opportunity to shed light, direction and education to billions of citizens around the world about how to live mindfully to create health, happiness and meaning in their lives.

Kathleen, The Founder’s Story
The Unmindful Life Transformed
An Unmindful Life
I had all the trappings of success measured by our culture. As a stockbroker at a Wall Street firm, I was set on a model of doing everything faster and better than any of my competitors. My life was very well calculated and moving at a planned, orchestrated pace, when one day—in a split second—everything stopped.I had landed at the airport as usual early Monday morning and grabbed a cab to the World Trade Center. I got out of the cab, entered the building, and headed for the elevator. All of a sudden, my chest was so tight I could hardly breathe. We were all packed into the elevator as usual, but this time as it sped up to my office, I thought I was having a heart attack. I lurched off the elevator on the 104th floor and leaned against the wall. Little did I know that would be first panic attack of many to follow.
Along with the panic attacks and insomnia, a new keen sense of awareness began to emerge. As I went to work each day, I noticed we all seemed to look and act like zombies. It felt like we were trained to do the same thing over and over again. I noticed how people were buying lunch from a sidewalk cart then mindlessly eating as they walked away. Everywhere I looked, everyone and everything began to look the same. It seemed as if we were all living in some trance. My well-designed life had started to unravel.
Later, still in New York, I was studying for my commodity boards when I stumbled upon an old copy of Thoreau’s journal in the apartment where I was staying. I dusted off the front of the book, turned to the first page and it read:
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Little did I know his words would change my life forever. My initial response to that famous passage was shock, confusion, and an indescribably immense sadness. Was I living deliberately? Was I living a mindful life? How in the heck did I know what the essential facts of life were? And if I die tomorrow, have I really lived at all? Is living in the middle of this rat race really living?
Thoreau’s words made me painfully aware that the course I had charted for my life was far from “mindful.” I had carved out an outwardly “successful” life, and it had become a prison of my own design. My life had nothing to do with my authentic self or with an awareness of my own desires and dreams.
I knew nothing about the realities of living in nature, and the mere thought that nature held the possibility of teaching me something both intrigued and terrified me. A fundamental shift occurred in that moment, and I knew there was no turning back. I made a choice that day that would change my life dramatically and forever.
