| Desc | MINDFUL AWARENESS PROGRAM (MAP) & CLEAR MIND CARING HEART: WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, OUR CURRENT SYSTEM OF EDUCATION HAS NARROWED ITS FOCUS TO THE COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF EXTERNAL FACTS AND OBJECTIVE INFORMATION. THE UNFORTUNATE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS TYPE OF EMPHASIS ON LEARNING IS RENDERING OUR STUDENTS LESS ABLE TO COPE WITH THE PRESSURES AND DEMANDS THEY FACE IN ADDRESSING THE WORLDWIDE PROBLEMS OF THE 21ST CENTURY. CURRENT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT MINDFUL AWARENESS PROGRAMS, WHEN EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATED WITHIN THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, PROMOTE POSITIVE QUALITIES THAT EMPOWER STUDENTS TO BECOME MORE ATTENTIVE AND CARING WORLD CITIZENS. FLOURISH FOUNDATION OFFERS SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS THAT INTRODUCE DIFFERENT FORMS OF MINDFUL AWARENESS TRAINING TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN A CLASSROOM SETTING. THE GOAL OF THE MINDFUL AWARENESS PROGRAM (MAP) IS CENTERED ON BROADENING THE SCOPE OF EDUCATION TO INCLUDE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS, ATTENTIONAL TRAINING, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF OTHER VIRTUES THAT SUPPORT PERSONAL, SOCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING. THE MAP PROGRAM USES SECULAR, AGE APPROPRIATE EXERCISES AND GAMES TO CULTIVATE ATTENTION, AWARENESS, ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY, AND TO DEVELOP THE POSITIVE EMOTIONS OF KINDNESS AND COMPASSION. | Desc |

| Desc | COMPASSIONATE LEADERS PROGRAM: HAVING EFFECTIVE YOUNG LEADERS IS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT FOR MAINTAINING A VIBRANT WORLD COMMUNITY IN THE FUTURE. THEY ARE THE NEXT GENERATION POLICY MAKERS, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS, INNOVATORS, AND PARENTS. THE COMPASSIONATE LEADERS PROGRAM PREPARES THEM TO HUMANELY FILL THIS ROLE BY EMPOWERING THEIR CREATIVITY TO RESEARCH, PLAN, AND IMPLEMENT COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS WITHIN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY AND ABROAD. IN 2013, 13 JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS RECEIVED CONTEMPLATIVE EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE IN THEIR FUNDRAISING AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS. THEY WERE MENTORED IN THE PLANNING, PREPARATION, AND FOLLOW THROUGH OF THEIR PROJECTS. DURING THE SUMMER, THEY TRAVELED TO INDIA OR JONESTOWN, MISSISSIPPI AND PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS. | Desc |

| Desc | PUBLIC OUTREACH: ALONG WITH DIRECT PROGRAMMING FLOURISH PROVIDES THE LOCAL COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS. THIS PAST YEAR FLOURISH PROVIDED TRAINING TO OVER 50 COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN MINDFUL EDUCATION AND SERVED OVER 350 PEOPLE WITH COMMUNITY LECTURES. MINDFUL PARENTING PROGRAM: BECOMING A PARENT IS PERHAPS ONE OF LIFE'S GREATEST RESPONSIBILITIES. THE CHILDBIRTH PREPARATION AND PARENTING PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT PARENTS IN CREATING ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS THAT CAN ASSIST THEM AS THEY EMBARK ON ONE OF LIFE'S MOST SIGNIFICANT, JOYOUS, AND CHALLENGING JOURNEYS - GIVING BIRTH TO AND NURTURING THE NEXT GENERATION. THROUGH CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES, PARTICIPANTS WILL BE SUPPORTED DURING PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH AND BEYOND. MINDFUL PARENTING IS DESIGNED TO ENGAGE PARENTS IN FORMAL MINDFULNESS PRACTICES, MEANINGFUL PARENTING TOPICS AND LIVELY GROUP DISCUSSIONS. IN THIS COURSE PARENTS ARE PROVIDED TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR DEVELOPING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR CHILDREN THROUGH A RELAXED, STABLE AND CLEAR WAY OF BEING. CULTIVATING EMOTIONAL BALANCE (CEB): CULTIVATING EMOTIONAL BALANCE IS AN ADULT TRAINING, WHICH AROSE FROM A DIALOGUE BETWEEN BIO-BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS STUDYING EMOTION AND THE DALAI LAMA, BUDDHIST MONKS, AND SCHOLARS AT THE MIND AND LIFE INSTITUTE IN MARCH OF 2000. THIS MEETING WAS ONE IN A SERIES SPONSORED BY THE MIND AND LIFE INSTITUTE TO FOSTER AN INTERCHANGE BETWEEN CONTEMPLATIVE TRADITIONS AND WESTERN SCIENCE. AT THIS MEETING, THE DALAI LAMA ASKED SCIENTISTS IF THEY COULD CONDUCT RESEARCH TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT SECULARIZED BUDDHIST PRACTICES WOULD BE HELPFUL TO WESTERNERS DEALING WITH "DESTRUCTIVE" EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES. IN RESPONSE TO THIS REQUEST, DR. PAUL EKMAN AND DR. B. ALAN WALLACE DEVELOPED A 42 HOUR, SECULAR, EVIDENCE-BASED TRAINING PROGRAM THAT INTEGRATES CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES WITH WESTERN TECHNIQUES FOR DEALING WITH NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES. THE GOAL OF THE CEB TRAINING PROGRAM IS TO IMPART SKILLS FOR REDUCING EMOTIONAL RESPONSES THAT ARE DESTRUCTIVE TO SELF AND OTHERS, WHILE ENHANCING POSITIVE MENTAL STATES OF SERENITY, KINDNESS, COMPASSION, ALTRUISM AND PRO-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR. | Desc |

| Desc | TEACHER SELF-CARE PROGRAM: AS EDUCATORS, SCHOOL TEACHERS REPRESENT A CORNERSTONE OF OUR SOCIETY. ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, OF ALL THE WORK THAT OCCURS AT EVERY LEVEL OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM, THE INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENT IS THE PRIMARY DETERMINANT OF STUDENT SUCCESS. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS IS ASTONISHING, YET MOST TEACHERS ARE NOT GIVEN THE TOOLS TO ADDRESS THE HIGH LEVELS OF STRESS AND BURNOUT, WHICH ARE SO EVIDENT IN THE PROFESSION. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT INTRODUCING CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES INTO THE LIVES OF TEACHERS REDUCES THEIR PERCEIVED STRESS, ANXIETY AND BURNOUT, WHILE LEADING TO INCREASED EMPATHY AND COMPASSION. IDEALLY, SUPPORTING TEACHERS IN THIS WAY CREATES STUDENT- TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS AND CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENTS THAT FOSTER THE DEVELOPING MINDS/BRAINS OF CHILDREN SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF SELF-CONTROL, STRESS REDUCTION, AND POSITIVE FEELINGS TOWARD THEM AND THE WORLD. FLOURISH FOUNDATION OFFERS WEEKLY SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS IN DEVELOPING THEIR OWN INNER RESOURCES THROUGH CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES, REFLECTION AND DIALOGUE. | Desc |

| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE FLOURISH FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO PROMOTING CONTEMPLATIVE-BASED PRACTICES IN COMMUNITIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACHIEVING MENTAL BALANCE AND COMPASSION. THE HEART OF OUR WORK FOCUSES ON THE HUMAN POTENTIAL TO BE MORALLY AND ETHICALLY RESPONSIBLE WORLD CITIZENS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6 | BOARD MEMBERS ARE VOLUNTEERS, PLUS THERE ARE FOUR OTHERS WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME FOR MAP CLASSES AND FUNDRAISING EVENTS, WORKING APPROXIMATELY 4 HOURS PER WEEK DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | FLOURISH FOUNDATION OFFERS SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS THAT INTRODUCE DIFFERENT FORMS OF MINDFUL AWARENESS TRAINING TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN A CLASSROOM SETTING. THE GOAL OF THE MINDFUL AWARENESS PROGRAM (MAP) IS CENTERED ON BROADENING THE SCOPE OF EDUCATION TO INCLUDE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS, ATTENTIONAL TRAINING, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF OTHER VIRTUES THAT SUPPORT PERSONAL, SOCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING. THE MAP PROGRAM USES SECULAR, AGE APPROPRIATE EXERCISES AND GAMES TO CULTIVATE ATTENTION, AWARENESS, ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY, AND TO DEVELOP THE POSITIVE EMOTIONS OF KINDNESS AND COMPASSION. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | THEIR PROJECTS. DURING THE SUMMER, THEY TRAVELED TO INDIA OR JONESTOWN, MISSISSIPPI AND PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C | EMBARK ON ONE OF LIFE'S MOST SIGNIFICANT, JOYOUS, AND CHALLENGING JOURNEYS - GIVING BIRTH TO AND NURTURING THE NEXT GENERATION. THROUGH CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES, PARTICIPANTS WILL BE SUPPORTED DURING PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH AND BEYOND. MINDFUL PARENTING IS DESIGNED TO ENGAGE PARENTS IN FORMAL MINDFULNESS PRACTICES, MEANINGFUL PARENTING TOPICS AND LIVELY GROUP DISCUSSIONS. IN THIS COURSE PARENTS ARE PROVIDED TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR DEVELOPING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR CHILDREN THROUGH A RELAXED, STABLE AND CLEAR WAY OF BEING. CULTIVATING EMOTIONAL BALANCE (CEB): CULTIVATING EMOTIONAL BALANCE IS AN ADULT TRAINING, WHICH AROSE FROM A DIALOGUE BETWEEN BIO-BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS STUDYING EMOTION AND THE DALAI LAMA, BUDDHIST MONKS, AND SCHOLARS AT THE MIND AND LIFE INSTITUTE IN MARCH OF 2000. THIS MEETING WAS ONE IN A SERIES SPONSORED BY THE MIND AND LIFE INSTITUTE TO FOSTER AN INTERCHANGE BETWEEN CONTEMPLATIVE TRADITIONS AND WESTERN SCIENCE. AT THIS MEETING, THE DALAI LAMA ASKED SCIENTISTS IF THEY COULD CONDUCT RESEARCH TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT SECULARIZED BUDDHIST PRACTICES WOULD BE HELPFUL TO WESTERNERS DEALING WITH "DESTRUCTIVE" EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES. IN RESPONSE TO THIS REQUEST, DR. PAUL EKMAN AND DR. B. ALAN WALLACE DEVELOPED A 42 HOUR, SECULAR, EVIDENCE-BASED TRAINING PROGRAM THAT INTEGRATES CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES WITH WESTERN TECHNIQUES FOR DEALING WITH NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES. THE GOAL OF THE CEB TRAINING PROGRAM IS TO IMPART SKILLS FOR REDUCING EMOTIONAL RESPONSES THAT ARE DESTRUCTIVE TO SELF AND OTHERS, WHILE ENHANCING POSITIVE MENTAL STATES OF SERENITY, KINDNESS, COMPASSION, ALTRUISM AND PRO-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4D | TEACHER SELF-CARE PROGRAM: AS EDUCATORS, SCHOOL TEACHERS REPRESENT A CORNERSTONE OF OUR SOCIETY. ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, OF ALL THE WORK THAT OCCURS AT EVERY LEVEL OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM, THE INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENT IS THE PRIMARY DETERMINANT OF STUDENT SUCCESS. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS IS ASTONISHING, YET MOST TEACHERS ARE NOT GIVEN THE TOOLS TO ADDRESS THE HIGH LEVELS OF STRESS AND BURNOUT, WHICH ARE SO EVIDENT IN THE PROFESSION. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT INTRODUCING CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES INTO THE LIVES OF TEACHERS REDUCES THEIR PERCEIVED STRESS, ANXIETY AND BURNOUT, WHILE LEADING TO INCREASED EMPATHY AND COMPASSION. IDEALLY, SUPPORTING TEACHERS IN THIS WAY CREATES STUDENT- TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS AND CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENTS THAT FOSTER THE DEVELOPING MINDS/BRAINS OF CHILDREN SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF SELF-CONTROL, STRESS REDUCTION, AND POSITIVE FEELINGS TOWARD THEM AND THE WORLD. FLOURISH FOUNDATION OFFERS WEEKLY SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS IN DEVELOPING THEIR OWN INNER RESOURCES THROUGH CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES, REFLECTION AND DIALOGUE. |
