InStill Mindfulness Cultivating a mindful world for all with kindness, compassion, and caring through education, action, and community.
(1)

InStill is committed to cultivating a mindful world for all. Our mission is to cultivate kindness, compassion, and caring through education, action, and community. Our Core Principle is Connection—with heart, mind, self, synapses, nature, and community. Our Values include:
Gratitude: We value gratitude in our own lives, and offer it freely. Self-care: We value self-care in our own lives, and aim to instill it in those around us. Awareness: We value the development of our own awareness, and provide tools to help others develop it in themselves. Redefine the mind: We value how mindfulness has changed our relationship with our mind, and foster it in others. Simplicity: We value simplicity as an antidote to chaos. Adaptability: We value adaptability, and welcome change rather than resist it. Walk the Walk: We value authenticity, and only aim to ‘preach’ what we actually practice. Acceptance: We value the equanimity gained through acceptance, and try to meet people where they are.

✨ Celebrate Winter Solstice with InSpire! ✨

On Tuesday, December 17, we’re gathering at the beautiful Shanti Meditation Hall at Deer Park Farm in Pilot, VA from 6:30–8:00 PM to honor the longest night of the year — a powerful time for reflection, inner stillness, and shared connection.

This InSpire gathering will include:
🕯 A meaningful community altar — we invite you to bring an object that represents beauty, memory, inspiration, or seasonal meaning
💬 Space for shared stories, reflection, and honoring our interconnection
🌙 A meditative celebration of the Solstice — acknowledging the long nights and the steady return of light

The word “solstice” comes from solstitium — the sun stands still. It is a perfect invitation to pause, listen inwardly, and sense our place in the greater rhythms of nature, community, and spirit.

Please note: because this event is held in a rural location, we will cancel in the event of icy roads or inclement weather — safety first.

🌿 New or returning participants are welcome, but please register if you’ve never attended an InSpire gathering before.

🍊 Creative Expressions: Scent, Stillness & Connection 🌿

Join us for a hands-on creative experience that invites you to slow down and engage your senses. Using natural materials like oranges, cloves, and evergreens, we’ll explore creativity as a form of mindfulness—grounding ourselves in scent, texture, and simple presence.

This is a space to create without pressure, connect with others, and enjoy the quiet joy of making something with your hands.

🌿 We’re Grateful for Our Friends at Yogaville 🌿
We are honored to help share Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville’s New Year’s Silent Retreat 2026 — a beautiful opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and reconnect with inner peace.

🧘‍♂️ New Year’s Silent Retreat 2026
December 29, 2025 – January 2, 2026
A transformative experience featuring the practices of mouna (silence), yoga, and meditation in Yogaville’s serene, snow-covered sanctuary.
A perfect way to begin the year with clarity, intention, and a peaceful heart.

We’re deeply grateful to Saci Murphy and the Yogaville team for their kindness, collaboration, and shared mission to help create a more mindful and compassionate world. 💛

If you haven’t visited Yogaville, we highly recommend a trip — whether for a class, a retreat, or simply quiet time at the LOTUS. It’s truly a place of peace.
