We want to help as much as we can so we collected these free tools and resources to help you. 

Some, you can use on your own - or share with family, friends and colleagues. However, if you are interested in practicing mindfulness in a group setting, please see our courses page.

Also, please let us know if you have any suggestions for how we could share and help.
