We believe that the pursuit of justice and the practice of contemplation are intrinsically linked journeys that contribute to the liberation of all beings. To this end, we seek to dismantle systems of oppression and to further healing and justice within and beyond our walls. We recognize that as a result of historically and intentionally constructed systems, many groups, specifically Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), have been excluded from various spaces, including mindfulness and meditation communities. As a community that values awareness, connection, transformation, open-heartedness, and compassionate action above all else, we strive to cultivate an environment where healing and justice is possible for all. Collaboration with communities most impacted by trauma, poverty, and oppression is at the heart of our work.We have served over 50,000 people from 50 countries around the world with our 100+ annual programs, including free, twice-daily meditation sessions, our monthly Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Meditation group, our Recovery Dharma group for folks struggling with addiction, and through our Community Collaborationa and Resilience Exchange (CARE). Through CARE, we have supported 8,000 of our community members who are veterans, incarcerated folks, people dealing with homelessness, and those struggling with mental health challenges and addiction. We believe access to mindfulness and resilience practices is a human right.With guidance from our Healing & Justice Collaborative (HJC), a women-of-color led consultative committee, we enact the goals laid out in our Healing & Justice Accountability Plan. Developed in collaboration with the HJC and two DEI experts, this plan articulates goals at all levels of our organization, from budget, operations, and hiring to progamming, marketing, fundraising, grant-making and to goals for our Board of Directors.This year, we were selected to partner with the United Way of Greater Waterbury to offer Mindfulness programming to youth of the Greater Waterbury area. This includes the towns of Bethlehem, Cheshire, Middlebury, Prospect, Southbury, Thomaston, Watertown, Wolcott and Waterbury, Connecticut. Between January 2023 June 2023, we provided 67 student sessions reaching over 1,350 youth and 15 staff sessions working with over 150 staff members. While working with the students and staff, we have been able to support social, emotional learning which is so important during this time. .Program expenses totaled $602,158. 602158 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 33 0 true 9 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false CT X Danae Laura Exec Director 8607609750 303 Tunxis Road West Hartford CT 061073119 Jeannette de Jesus fr 22023 Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 73614 0 0 Brandon Nappi to 122023 Exec Dir / Pres 40.00 0.00 X X 27285 0 0 Val Carterud Treasurer 12.00 0.00 X 18443 0 0 Deidre Galbo Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Churt fr 22023 Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Emily Rosen fr 22023 Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rita Concepcion Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chuck Joseph to 06302023 Chairman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Edward Langford fr 22023 Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Wilby fr 22023 Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Regina Long Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chinese Anako Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ElizabethThayer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Allejandro Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberlee Pita from 07012023 Chairwoman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kimberlee Pita to 06302023 Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 119342 0 false false false 0 23373 182900 206273 Certification Training 147003 147003 Courses and fees 210572 210572 MBSR Course 26365 26365 Retreats 103145 103145 Scholarships -116705 -116705 370380 812 812 0 0 0 0 7375 23373 10328 -2953 -2953 0 0 0 574512 370380 -2141 X 0 0 0 0 119342 70629 37259 11454 0 246198 165987 47921 32290 0 0 28580 19483 5495 3602 0 0 25387 25387 0 0 0 235008 192470 20808 21730 0 11189 8553 2636 9436 6605 1887 944 0 107224 97192 3344 6688 1185 1185 0 0 0 0 3021 2115 302 604 10336 8786 517 1033 Marketing 17860 16967 893 Development Total 14896 14896 Program Supplies 12186 12186 Professional Training 1770 1770 -9388 940 -10328 834230 602158 148266 83806 143289 62163 261842 77308 329850 40250 33130 0 0 0 0 15769 14270 0 0 0 0 3020 0 49502 464170 566223 24124 42836 111755 404372 50442 135879 497650 X 328291 68573 328291 68573 464170 566223 -259718 X true X false true false X 270253 325472 432103 363589 206273 1597690 429087 486737 303263 310566 370380 1900033 0 0 0 699340 812209 735366 674155 576653 3497723 1600 11091 8089 2481 2147 25408 177475 187568 171065 124594 108220 768922 179075 198659 179154 127075 110367 794330 2703393 1138 1077 850 2934 812 6811 0 1138 1077 850 2934 812 6811 0 4498 3125 -2953 4670 700478 813286 740714 680214 574512 3509204 0.77040 0.73540 0.00190 0.00200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Right-Of-Use Asset 49502 49502 Lease Liability - Current 22185 Lease Liability - Long-term 28257 50442 584840 10328 10328 574512 574512 844558 10328 10328 834230 834230 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Special event exp's, excluding noncash $10328 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Special event exp's, excluding noncash $10328 false Labyrinth 22375 15000 7375 4097 700 5531 14 Days of Love 8373 8373 30748 23373 7375 4097 700 5531 10328 -2953 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Our CPA prepares the Form 990 after performing the review of our financial statements.
