🌟📚 Back to School, Back to You! 🌟

As we kick off another school year, let's remember to be kind to ourselves and stay grounded amidst all the hustle and bustle. 💭 Whether you're a student, parent, teacher or faculty, the start of school can be both exciting and overwhelming—but practicing mindfulness can help us stay calm, focused, and ready to embrace the new year! ✨

If you just need a Mindful Moment, you know where you find us✌🏼

✨ That’s a wrap! ✨
Our 2025 Workforce Development & Mindfulness Leadership Training has officially come to a close.

We spent our final week with HLF co-founders Ali, Atman & Andy, sharing meals, laughter, and meaningful connections. They watched with pride as our trainees took their skills into the community, leading and inspiring others.

We are deeply grateful to our tribal chiefs and sub-chiefs for taking the time to meet with us and for their continued support of our program. Your encouragement means the world to us.

One of the most powerful moments was joining Louise “Mama Bear” Herne for a sweat — a deeply refreshing and grounding experience.

We closed our journey on the water, soaking up the sunshine, strengthening bonds, and celebrating what we’ve accomplished together. 🌊☀️💛

Here’s to growth, connection, and the incredible memories we’ve made!

None of this would have been possible without Akwesasne Settlement Trust! Niawen Kowa for your support of our program🫶🏼

✨ Mindfulness Leadership Training – Week 3 Wrap-Up ✨

Yesterday marked the tailend of Week 3 in our Mindfulness Leadership journey, and what a powerful day it was. We joined the Akwesasne Boys and Girls Club at Generations Park for their Superhero Day, where our trainees had the opportunity to lead and share the mindfulness practices they’ve been learning with the youth.

We were honored to have Ti Tsye Danforth with us for traditional teachings. He guided us through what became the most powerful meditation experience yet—one that allowed many of us to reconnect with loved ones and ancestors who have passed on. There were tears, reflection, and deep healing.

We are so proud of our trainees for stepping into leadership and sharing from the heart. What a beautiful way to close the week—with community, tradition, and transformation. 💫

🌿 Mindfulness Leadership Training – Week Two Wrap-Up 🌿

We wrapped up an incredible second week of our Mindfulness Leadership Training! Last week, we were joined by the St.regis Mohawk Tribe Alcohol/chemical Dependency Program, who led an impactful session on the dangers of va**ng and ma*****na use among youth — an important conversation that sparked reflection and awareness.

We also took time to connect with nature at beautiful Burke Falls, where we enjoyed the peaceful sounds of the waterfall and grounded ourselves through mindful yoga practices. 💧🧘‍♀️

Today, we stepped into leadership roles by guiding mindfulness practices with a middle school summer school group — sharing what we’ve learned and putting our skills into action. 💬🌱

Grateful for another week of growth, connection, and leadership! 💚

Mindfulness Leadership Training – Week Two, Day Three🌲

We began our morning following our usual mindfulness routine—grounding ourselves through movement, breathwork, and intention setting🧘🏼‍♂️

In the afternoon, we took our practice to the St. Lawrence River, where we bonded as a team, shared laughs, and enjoyed the healing power of nature by swimming in the water. A perfect way to refresh our minds and strengthen our connection. 🌊💙
We ended our day with an eagle sighting!🦅

Nia:wen to Amanda Lazare who is not only attending the training, but was also our gracious tour guide and driver today!

🌿 Mindfulness Leadership Training – Week 2, Day 2 🌿

Today we continued deepening our journey with the Five Rights, explored new mindful movement practices, and did a grounding meditation.

We were also grateful to welcome Chelsea Dodd from Seaway Valley Prevention Council who guided us through Bridges Out of Poverty training—bringing powerful insight into the barriers our communities face and how we can help build stronger, more compassionate connections.

Each day we grow together—mind, body, and heart. 💚

✨ Mindfulness Leadership Training – Week Two Kickoff! ✨
We started off Week Two with powerful sessions to help build our leadership from the inside out. Lisa Jock joined us again to guide a conversation on mindset and the power of positive thinking, helping us reframe and refocus. 🌿

We moved our bodies, centered ourselves with a short meditation, and created space for reflection and growth.

We also had the pleasure of learning from Jenn Hutchins who led a session on classroom management, grounding us in the importance of communication and community through a Talking Circle.

We had some powerful breakthroughs today and built a stronger connection as a group.

Grateful for the learning and connection 💚

None of this would be possible without Mohawks of Akwesasne Community Settlement Trust

Mindfulness Leadership Training – Day 5

Today was all about reconnecting with the natural world. 🌿💧
We started our day at the beautiful Lampson Falls, where we swam and soaked in the peaceful sounds of nature. Later, we gathered at Postwood Park Beach to close our day with a reflective talking circle and a calming mini meditation.
Grateful for these moments of stillness, connection, and growth. ✨🧘‍♀️

Mindfulness Leadership Training – Days 3 & 4🌿

What an inspiring couple of days! We were honored to be joined by Lisa Jock, who guided us through the powerful benefits of essential oils. We also had Darren Bonaparte, who shared deep and meaningful traditional teachings with us.

We continued to strengthen our practice with movement, breathing techniques, and mindful presence. Each session has been a step closer to becoming more grounded, aware, and connected — both within ourselves and with each other.

Grateful for the wisdom shared and the community we’re building. 💫
