In today’s world, more success hasn’t necessarily brought us more happiness, and having more stuff hasn’t made us healthier. Wisdom traditions and the latest science on the mind tell us one thing in common:
What we are looking for outside is actually within.
This journey within is very personal. And every individual has to undertake it themselves. However this journey is also a difficult one. And like-minded travelers can help us find the energy to keep going, and stay on course.
The Eikas Wellbeing Center is a space for reflection, learning, and community. Through practices, discussions, stories, and shared experiences, we explore ways to care for ourselves, strengthen our relationships, and contribute to healthier communities.

How you can participate
Community of Practice
Our year-long Community of Practice brings together educators serving low-income communities to reflect on their personal wellbeing and professional journeys. Participants meet twice a month for guided discussions, wellbeing practices, and peer learning, exploring how caring for ourselves can help us better support the communities we serve.
Wellbeing Saturdays
Wellbeing Saturdays are open online sessions held on the second and fourth Saturday of every month. Through wellbeing practices, stories, readings, and reflective conversations, these sessions support teachers, educators, counselors, mindfulness practitioners, and nonprofit professionals interested in cultivating wellbeing in their personal and professional lives.
Schools & Organizations
If you are a school, nonprofit, or community organization interested in supporting the wellbeing of your educators, staff, or volunteers, we would be happy to explore ways of working together.
We offer tailored workshops, Communities of Practice, and wellbeing programs designed to meet the unique needs of your context and community.
