One Year Into the Pandemic, Here’s How We’re Tapping Into Compassion

Wherever you are, whatever your circumstances, we're sharing these practices to help you find ways to plug into connection, kindness, and care.

Last March, Mindful.org brought mindful leaders from across the country together for an online meditation series called Mindful@Home. As they hunkered down in their homes, they sent peace, calm, and love to us in our homes.

One year later, their teachings still offer us the opportunity to deepen our practice and experience the power of mindfulness.
