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. Through CARE, we are able to offer $65,000 in scholarships annually to those who need them most.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 as 1 of 14 retreat centers by the Fetzer Institute to participate in the Racial Healing Initiative (RHI). Through the RHI, our community participated in listening sessions and will participate in a 4-day racial healing retreat led by two of our community facilitators who have been trained by RHI racial justice experts. As one of the goals in our Accountability Plan includes holding annual anti-oppression trainings for our community and team, we will now have in-house facilitatiors to offer these trainings. 548029 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false 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 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false CT X Brandon Nappi Exec Dir 8607609750 303 Tunxis Road West Hartford CT 061073119 Brandon Nappi Exec Dir / Pres 50.00 0.00 X X 86521 0 0 Alexis Vatteroni to 062022 Secretary 40.00 0.00 X 39900 0 0 Val Carterud Treasurer 12.00 0.00 X 14862 0 0 Deidre Galbo Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Charles Herbert Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rita Concepcion Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chuck Joseph Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marcia Keegan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Regina Long Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Thonpson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chineye Anako Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Thayer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Allejandro Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dana Foster from 072021 Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Pita Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 141283 0 false false false 0 38081 82129 243379 5195 363589 Courses and fees 241271 241271 MBSR Course 23524 23524 Retreats 127284 127284 Scholarships -81513 -81513 310566 2934 2934 0 0 0 5387 5195 192 192 192 10130 38081 8851 1279 1279 0 0 0 678560 313500 1471 X 0 0 0 0 141283 98470 27840 14973 0 140207 76460 33987 29760 0 0 22052 14468 3884 3700 0 0 24400 24400 0 0 0 231727 219176 5684 6867 0 12671 9476 3195 12615 8830 2523 1262 0 76905 65845 3687 7373 666 666 0 0 354 354 0 12081 8458 1208 2415 8465 7195 424 846 Marketing 34503 32777 1726 Development Total 14328 14328 Professional Training 8883 8883 Program Supplies 6208 6208 -7062 1789 -8851 740286 548029 117858 74399 176459 143289 255845 261842 78212 0 18255 40250 0 0 0 0 8170 15769 0 0 0 0 15102 3020 0 552043 464170 36362 24124 78889 111755 46775 162026 135879 X 390017 328291 390017 328291 552043 464170 -61726 X false true X true false X 318647 270253 325472 432103 363589 1710064 336815 429087 486737 303263 310566 1866468 0 0 0 655462 699340 812209 735366 674155 3576532 13300 1600 11091 8089 2481 36561 238167 177475 187568 171065 124594 898869 251467 179075 198659 179154 127075 935430 2641102 1132 1138 1077 850 2934 7131 0 1132 1138 1077 850 2934 7131 0 4498 3125 7623 656594 700478 813286 740714 680214 3591286 0.73540 0.72950 0.00200 0.00160 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 687411 8851 8851 678560 678560 749137 8851 8851 740286 740286 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Special event exp's, excluding noncash $8851 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Special event exp's, excluding noncash $8851 false Harvest Celebration 39569 29439 10130 3487 2075 1443 Labyrinth 8642 8642 375 1471 48211 38081 10130 3487 2450 2914 8851 1279 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process Our CPA prepares the Form 990 after performing the audit of our financial statements.
