we're all in this together
No organization is an island. A lone mission only has so much reach. Every vision needs a viable environment to become a reality. We know that our impact — singularly and collectively — grows beyond what we imagine when we collaborate, share, and work together.
let’s work together for the benefit of young people
nurturing the emotional and mental well-being of future generations
Through our partnerships - philanthropic, programming, and outreach – even more young people are gifted the opportunity to learn the long-term benefits of mindfulness and meditation. Working with organizations and institutions of all types and sizes, we customize our renowned mindfulness programs and curriculum to fit the needs of varying communities. Together, we center the well-being of future generations.

caring, diverse teachers & staff
Inward Bound retreats and programs are led by awesome adults with years of experience serving and working with teens and young adults, alongside their own longstanding mindfulness practices. Our diverse faculty and staff walk their talk in their professional and personal lives, and devote themselves to creating a truly unique and safe container for all to be welcomed, be real, and be accepted — and have some fun.

justice & equity at the core of mindfulness & compassion
Within its mission of teen mindfulness, Inward Bound prioritizes diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA). This commitment to DEIA is embodied across its programs and organizational leadership, which utilizes a Collaborative Leadership model for shared decision-making and strategy-building across staff, teachers, teens and young adults, parents, and community partners.
I am surprised by the person I was and the person that I became on such a short retreat.
