Who We Help

Stress and hardship are facts of life. Many react to these daily struggles with anger, drugs, depression, or even crime. The Meditation Initiative has taught more than 2,246 people an alternative: meditation. We can find peace amidst the chaos of our lives. We can find this peace right here, right now, in the very eye of the storm.

The Meditation Initiative has made tremendous progress towards our vision of offering meditation as a means of bringing harmony to the San Diego community. Our approach of using meditation as a mindfulness education has been well received by the public and private school systems as well as many other institutions.
