We are applying for funding to build a new Well-Being Learning Center at our Organic Ranch. Once the building is completed we will hold within the first year: weekly Yoga & Meditation for students, parents and teachers of the projects; a Mindfulness-in-Education training for over 200 teachers, as well as continual training for local teachers, program staff and community leaders. In the second year, in addition we will host a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training for 40 local instructors to extend yoga into their communities; and 6 weekend family retreats on yoga and meditation for 200 people.
