Montana Mindfulness Project – Building a kinder world.

Cultivating well-being for youth & young adults.

Offering mindfulness education for students in the Gallatin Valley & beyond since 2018.

Welcome to the Montana Mindfulness Project

We bring mindfulness programs into schools and communities, providing students with tools that foster focused attention, emotional regulation and resilience for a lifetime.

Mindfulness brought to life, by Montana youth. Watch now.

Our Programs

MMP's programs range from weekly courses in classrooms to custom workshops & retreats. We accommodate pre-existing schedules & lesson plans to best integrate into learning environments.

Schools & Districts

Mindfulness courses for K-12 and preschools.

Youth Organizations

Mindfulness courses for youth organizations.

Young Adults

Mindfulness courses for college-aged students and young adults.

Educators & Support Staff

Mindfulness training for educators, support staff and parents.

Why mindfulness?

Today's youth and educators carry more on their shoulders than ever before. Mindfulness practices teach skills that foster the capacity to live healthy, authentic and resilient lives, and help students respond to challenges from a place of ease and clarity.

What we do

Through our age-appropriate courses, workshops and retreats, Montana Mindfulness Project helps youth and young adults meet the present moment with curiosity, non-judgment and kindness.

Our Partners

Since 2018, we have brought mindfulness education into more than 20 schools & youth organizations across the Gallatin Valley.

Happy Mindful Monday from MMP! Join Lisa as she guides us through this week’s tool: Mindfulness of Sound. 🐳

Unmute so you can ride the (sound) waves 🌊🏄‍♂️ and get a little more anchored into the present moment. Our Mindful Monday Tools are good for all ages — so feel free to practice with the little ones! 🦋 @connectyourdotz @wildbreathwork

Sound on for a moment of bliss for you, today. 🦦 Nature gives us so many opportunities to anchor into the NOW. Let it wash over you even for 8 seconds, and see if you can get just a little more grounded into your body. 🕊

We just realized we forgot to say a HUGE GIANT THA

We just realized we forgot to say a HUGE GIANT THANK YOU to the 81 donors (our highest number yet!) and all the support we received during @givebiggv this year! Our gratitude is overflowing still, even 2 weeks later. Thanks to you all, we were able to raise $18,484 — all of which will go directly to funding more programs in our schools, summer camps and youth organizations. Please reach out if you’d like to see mindfulness brought to your child’s life.
🕊
Let’s keep growing a kinder world together, shall we? 🥰🌳#mindfulness #youthempowerment

We all know it's a pretty unusually chaotic time to just...be a kid. If you are noticing our youth carrying more on their shoulders than ever before - please consider giving to MMP! Today is the day @givebiggv 🌿 Your donations will be matched 1:1 beginning at 6:00 PM tonight. 🌿   
Your donation directly helps us supply more youth with the tools they need to foster mental health and happiness – skills that ripple into their classrooms, families and communities. 🌱  And to all of the incredible schools, organizations, donors and sponsors who have continued to helped us to offer affordable & accessible mindfulness education to youth in the Gallatin Valley... Please feel our unending gratitude!

Here's to what's ahead. 🌿

It has been bittersweet wrapping up our time with our students, but these sweet reflections from our 4th and 5th graders at LaMotte School in Bear Canyon make it all worth it. 🌱💞

We hope to bring #mindfulness back during the 2023-2024 school year but as we all know, school budgets are more strapped than ever. Your donations during @givebiggv will help keep costs down for our school partners! Giving starts tomorrow at 6:00 pm (MST) — donate at the link in our bio! #strongertogether

We're welcoming in May with Week Three's #MindfulMonday tool: ⚓️ FINDING YOUR ANCHOR SPOT ⚓️

Join @csozanne as she helps us explore another tool for learning how to focus on our breath. We can use out breath as an anchor to bring back our wandering minds, much the way a boat uses an anchor from drifting away in a current. We can focus on the sensations of our breath in our body and return the present time and time again. ⛵️ #breathe #presentmoment

We felt a bit like proud parents attending the Boardroom Bobcats @msuleadershipinstitute celebration earlier this week. Only 8 nonprofits were matched with Bobcats—an honor for both Amiya, especially, and MMP. Amiya spoke eloquently of all she's learned from being on her first board, and likewise; Amiya’s kind presence, communication skills and dedication to doing true good has been a great asset to our team.

MMP teacher Lisa Joslyn walks us through this week’s tool: ROLLERCOASTER BREATHING🎢 This one is good for all ages and helps calm the nervous system when things around us are feeling a little too much.

They know... 🌱 #youthempowerment #bozemankids Our vibration bells tend to be one of students’ favorite parts of mindfulness practice. The sound creates a wavy vibration feeling throughout the whole room that also reverberates in our bodies and reminds us to settle ourselves down — even just a little. 👌🏽

Learning to FEEL our breath in our bodies during our @gv_ymca After-School Program in Belgrade last week. 🍀🐛

There may be no quicker path to the present moment than our breath. Place your hand on your belly or rib cage, and as you breathe, just feeeeeeeel the rising and falling. Rising and falling. Rising and falling. Notice how your mind responds with each breath. #mindfulness #mindfulparenting
