Janice Bowman, manager Military & Veterans Affairs
Our concierge & Veterans West manager will take you (and your family) where you want to go!
The Military & Veterans Affairs department, Veterans West, at Battleship IOWA has a mission to provide programs and resources that have impact, nourish comradery, and support the critical needs of our military and veterans.
The three pillars of veterans programs and services aboard the museum focus on honor, community, and prosperity.
HONOR
The ship is a location of honor for both veterans and civilians. It is an opportunity for the public to show their appreciation to those whom served, as well as an environment that reinforces pride in service. A unique platform of patriotism that remembers the fallen and an appreciation of service. Whether it is the simple announcing of a veteran arriving aboard ship over the 1MC or the production of LA Fleet Week, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day events, we continue to honor veterans daily.
USS Iowa veterans may visit the “Those Who Served” section to upload a photo and short service record and may become a member of the USS Iowa Veterans association at ussiowavetassn.com.
COMMUNITY
The sense of community is critical to the well-being of everyone, but especially veterans. Those who have served have comradery with other veterans built through training, combat, and focus. This makes community a keystone pillar of our veterans and community programs. This led to the formalization of Surface Navy Association “SNA” Battleship IOWA Chapter, American Legion Post 61, and the Battleship IOWA Veterans Resource Center “VRC”. Our “VRC” provides veterans a one-stop approach with the ability to easily access a Veteran Concierge, a master resource list, and VSNP & VCCP programming. A sense of community coupled with resources and programming, provides a high impact environment aboard Battleship USS Iowa Museum.
PROSPERITY
Our prosperity pillar aligns with the basic definition of “the condition of being successful or thriving”. Veterans programs at the Battleship IOWA take into account a well-rounded support system of honor, community, and prosperity. We utilize the in-situ environment of the ship to provide a holistic approach to assisting veterans to thrive. We continue to partner with best in class resource providers with a range of focus from skills development, job search, wellness, education, and general support. One of our founding affiliations is with National Veterans Transition Services to host Operation REBOOT on board ship. Our newest is with Integrated Recovery Foundation.
VETERAN WEST
Veterans West is a full suite of programs for the coolest veterans on earth. Call Janice today and she will tell you how cool it really is.
VETERAN RESOURCE CENTER
The Veterans Resource Center at Battleship IOWA is a veteran community center and hub welcoming veterans and their families of every branch and service era.
The Battleship IOWA is an all-inclusive, holistic, and enjoyable environment for all. The ship uses its vast space to function as a community center that hosts programs and events, and provides services for the benefit of veterans throughout the region.
The Veterans Resource Center is generously funded with contributions from Phillips 66, Johnny Carson Foundation, Wells Fargo, and Timken.
VETERAN CONCIERGE
Need personalized guidance with our calendar and resources? Would you like to take a veteran excursion to visit military and veteran monuments, memorials, and other landmarks? Need a ride to a county-wide veteran service or community partner location? Look no further than our very own veteran concierge!
Veterans Resource List
Veterans West by Battleship IOWA is proud to offer a comprehensive directory of meetings, resources, education, employment, etc. for the benefit of veterans. Please enjoy and share the good word.

TO GUIDE VETERANS IN MINDFULNESS PRACTICES THAT EMPOWER THEM TO BE FREE, BE WELL, AND BE WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.
BE FREE
Reclaim your power, clarity, and ability to make wise choices so you’re never a victim.
BE WELL
Discover the tools and resources to move out of “surviving” mode and into “thriving” mode.
BE WHOLE
Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.
MVP Philosophy
We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.
We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.
We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
NON-JUDGMENT
PATIENCE
BEGINNER’S MIND
TRUST AS SELF-RELIANCE
OPEN-MINDED EFFORT
EMPOWERED CHOICE
ACCEPTANCE
LETTING GO / LETTING BE
SENSE OF HUMOR
MVP Practice
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.
We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

MVP
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgment as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

The purpose of the meeting is for veterans and veteran organizations to meet the Commissioners and brief them on their best practices or raise awareness with any concerns. This monthly meeting is open to the public on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. No RSVP is required.

TO GUIDE VETERANS IN MINDFULNESS PRACTICES THAT EMPOWER THEM TO BE FREE, BE WELL, AND BE WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.
BE FREE
Reclaim your power, clarity, and ability to make wise choices so you’re never a victim.
BE WELL
Discover the tools and resources to move out of “surviving” mode and into “thriving” mode.
BE WHOLE
Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.
MVP Philosophy
We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.
We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.
We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
NON-JUDGMENT
PATIENCE
BEGINNER’S MIND
TRUST AS SELF-RELIANCE
OPEN-MINDED EFFORT
EMPOWERED CHOICE
ACCEPTANCE
LETTING GO / LETTING BE
SENSE OF HUMOR
MVP Practice
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

MVP Practice
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

TO GUIDE VETERANS IN MINDFULNESS PRACTICES THAT EMPOWER THEM TO BE FREE, BE WELL, AND BE WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.
BE FREE
Reclaim your power, clarity, and ability to make wise choices so you’re never a victim.
BE WELL
Discover the tools and resources to move out of “surviving” mode and into “thriving” mode.
BE WHOLE
Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.
MVP Philosophy
We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.
We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.
We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
NON-JUDGMENT
PATIENCE
BEGINNER’S MIND
TRUST AS SELF-RELIANCE
OPEN-MINDED EFFORT
EMPOWERED CHOICE
ACCEPTANCE
LETTING GO / LETTING BE
SENSE OF HUMOR
MVP Practice
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

MVP Practice
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

MWP Practice
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

MVP
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgment as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

MVP Practice
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

The program targets veterans who are unemployed and at risk of homelessness by offering legal services, clinics, and self-help workshops in the areas of:

MWP Philosophy
We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.
We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.
We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

MWP Practice
MWP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

TO GUIDE VETERANS IN MINDFULNESS PRACTICES THAT EMPOWER THEM TO BE FREE, BE WELL, AND BE WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.
BE FREE
Reclaim your power, clarity, and ability to make wise choices so you’re never a victim.
BE WELL
Discover the tools and resources to move out of “surviving” mode and into “thriving” mode.
BE WHOLE
Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.
MVP Philosophy
We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.
We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.
We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
NON-JUDGMENT
PATIENCE
BEGINNER’S MIND
TRUST AS SELF-RELIANCE
OPEN-MINDED EFFORT
EMPOWERED CHOICE
ACCEPTANCE
LETTING GO / LETTING BE
SENSE OF HUMOR
MVP
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgment as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

TO GUIDE VETERANS IN MINDFULNESS PRACTICES THAT EMPOWER THEM TO BE FREE, BE WELL, AND BE WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.
BE FREE
Reclaim your power, clarity, and ability to make wise choices so you’re never a victim.
BE WELL
Discover the tools and resources to move out of “surviving” mode and into “thriving” mode.
BE WHOLE
Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.
MVP Philosophy
We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.
We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.
We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
NON-JUDGMENT
PATIENCE
BEGINNER’S MIND
TRUST AS SELF-RELIANCE
OPEN-MINDED EFFORT
EMPOWERED CHOICE
ACCEPTANCE
LETTING GO / LETTING BE
SENSE OF HUMOR
MVP Practice
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.
We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.
We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

MWP Practice
MWP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.
We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

SENSE OF HUMOR
MVP
MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgment as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.
Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.
Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.
