Support Community as the Antidote to Loneliness and Isolation
Nearly half the world's population report feeling isolated. Community + Meditation Helps!
We are fundraising to create authentic connections throughout the world.
"I've been able to improve my consistency with meditation and to enjoy it more. It's led me to make a personal meditation retreat, examine my approach to meditation, and set a solid intention for my practice. The community I've found on Mind Oasis has been so supportive and helpful. I can't recommend it enough." ~ Fausta L.
It's our Sixth Annual Meditation Challenge! Since 2017, we have been tackling isolation and loneliness with community and connection one breath at a time!
"Given the profound consequences of loneliness and isolation, we have an opportunity, and an obligation, to make the same investments in addressing social connection that we have made in addressing tobacco use, obesity, and the addiction crisis." US Surgeon General
One in two Americans report feeling isolated. It's about the same worldwide.
Mind Oasis didn't start out as an organization committed to creating connection and community, but over the past six years, we have come to realize the inherent power of our organization goes way beyond delivering the timeless benefits of meditation worldwide. Mind Oasis brings people together in a safe space in community, where our joys, sorrows, and experiences can be witnessed. Yes, we meditate together, but the truth is we are here doing so much more.
Please support our quest to be a resource for travelers on this path called life who are tired, lonely, and isolated. Help us to keep the doors open and the lights on to this robust and meaningful community that brings us together in hope and inspiration, one breath at a time ⭕️ .
As a 501c3 nonprofit, Mind Oasis offers many free community-gathering opportunities each week live and online for anyone wishing to participate. We offer scholarships to anyone needing financial help to attend our signature program, Community Meditation. Every day we offer up inspiration and the opportunity to generate conversations in our online Meditation Center where the doors are always open. Bring a cup of tea or coffee and explore the stories, conversations, and many offerings designed to bring us together and to break down feelings of isolation.
Join us in your jammies from your home anywhere in the world that you have cell service or WiFi.
Please support these efforts with a gift of $27 or more this April. When you contribute, you are helping to keep the Meditation Center doors open as a warm and welcoming portal for anyone wishing to connect authentically.
"Loneliness is far more than just a bad feeling—it harms both individual and societal health. It is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety, and premature death. The mortality impact of being socially disconnected is similar to that caused by smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, and even greater than that associated with obesity and physical inactivity. And the harmful consequences of a society that lacks social connection can be felt in our schools, workplaces, and civic organizations..." US Surgeon General
