Mindfulness can help us expand our perspective so that we might make more compassionate choices about the ways we govern society, how we relate to each other and how we inhabit our planet home.

Joyful effort is one of the five inner strengths - gladly showing up for our mindfulness practice, again and again, with a sense of freshness and upliftedness.
Confidence is one of the Five Inner Strengths we can cultivate that support us in our mindfulness journey - a deeply embodied trust in oneself and the possibilities of practice.
The five inner strengths are interconnected beneficial qualities that steady the mind and support our mindfulness practice so we might live in closer alignment with our deepest values.
Seeing enlightenment as a series of discrete experiences, a lifelong practice, and an ongoing process can help us avoid the costly pitfalls of hubris and delusion.
Donella Meadows' Iceberg Model offers a practical framework for seeing ourselves and the world through a more mindful lens.

The relinquishment of the illusion of control we call surrender can be life affirming and even sweet when what we're letting go into is inevitable - mindfulness can help us discern when it makes sense to do so.
Joy is a delightful surprise visitor that we can learn to roll out the welcome mat for and invite to stay longer through a dedicated mindfulness practice.
