Shanthi Project We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to teaching social-emotional resiliency through mindfulness.

Founded in 2010, Shanthi Project teaches brain-based mindfulness techniques such as controlled movement, breathing, and meditation. Students learn valuable coping and life skills that cultivate self-awareness, enhance self-esteem and promote positive emotions, helping them establish healthy and productive relationships with themselves, their families, and their communities. Shanthi Project also supports and participates in scientific research on how mindfulness and yoga benefits trauma survivors, and its approach has been proven to reverse the effects that emotional and physical trauma has on the brain.

As the leaves start to change, and the days gradually shorten, we're slowing down and taking stock of the seasonal transformation happening around—and within—us. Join the autumn reflections next Wednesday!

We're excited to partner with the Historic Easton Cemetery for an upcoming mindfulness and meditation session, hosted in Easton's largest green space. Together, we'll practice gratitude, cultivate presence, and appreciate the beauty of change while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Don't forget to register for our upcoming community programming! We have a lot planned this month — including a new workshop on Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) in just a couple days.

EFT, also called "tapping," is a powerful mind-body practice that combines focused awareness with gentle tapping on acupressure points. Funds from this workshop, and all of our community programming, directly support Shanthi Project's mindfulness education for children in Lehigh Valley schools!

📍 These programs and events will all be hosted at Connexions Gallery, our shared Easton hub where we've operated since the spring. (Take a peek at the gallery this Thursday at our Shanthi After Hours joint open house!)

Visit ShanthiProject.org/events to register and find out more about all upcoming programs.

Join us this September and October for lots of new community programming! Behind the scenes, we've been busy planning an exciting lineup of workshops, programs, and events, featuring mindful movement, art, and meditation.

Most programs will be hosted at our Easton hub (shared with Connexions Gallery) — which we're opening up to the public at our next Shanthi After Hours in October! More details to come.

Until then, you can explore this list of our upcoming offerings, then head to ShanthiProject.org/events to register. And remember, all funds from our community programming directly support the life-changing mindfulness education we bring to classrooms across the Lehigh Valley!
