WORTHY BEYOND PURPOSE INC

Now more than ever this work is necessary! Spending a year in isolation, our children are lacking social emotional development in a way that they previously got in schools. Before lockdown, they could socialize, they had face to face interaction, they were getting an understanding of their character, they were understanding how to be kind to people. All of these connection things that were lost in our isolated at home setting. We do this work to develop soft skills, empathy, connection and community building. We do this work to teach children self-love and to give them the social emotional learning component that they were lacking being out of interaction with each other. These are the things that foster positive identity development. We have been invited to join 7 new schools this year and we need your help! Help us to continue this mission of bringing mindfulness & meditation practices to children around the world. HELP US transform the world, one mindful kid at a time. Every single dollar counts. Every single share helps. Lets do this... together!

In 2020 when the global pandemic closed schools, WBP immediately adopted an online platform reaching hundreds of kids worldwide. We developed an after school, donation based, creative arts & self expression program, operated under an overarching mindfulness umbrella. Through intensional lessons developing connections and emotional intelligence, our children learn how to bring mindfulness into their everyday lives.

To deepen their practice, Worthy Beyond Purpose went on a meditation retreat to Tanzania, Africa. While there they were invited to Kaole Primary School to teach the third graders some breathing and yoga techniques. With the help of their interpreter, Mandela, they were able to talk about their feelings and discuss various ways to help manage them. WBP had the privilege of sitting with 150 students! Their interpreter was so moved by the experience, he decided to continue the work. With a couple weeks training with WBP virtually, he was equipped to go back week after week and teach these kids the mindfulness & meditation tools of WBP. Transforming the WORLD, one mindful kid at a time.

In the next two years we developed a program , becoming part of the curriculum in multiple K-8 schools across LA County.

In 2018, the Stoneman Douglas school shooter, Nicolas Cruz, was quoted saying shooting guns was his form of therapy. The proposed solution to these mass school shootings was to arm our teachers. This is where Connie made a post on Facebook... "How about we don't arm our teachers, how about we arm our students with the tools they need to manage their emotions." And this is when Worthy Beyond Purpose got to work.
