Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention on purpose to the present moment.  Mindfulness can be practiced formally through different forms of meditation and informally as we go throughout the day.  Observing our thought patterns and cultivating our attention on purpose, allows us to gain clarity that enables us to live with intention, reduce stress and be more present.

VCU and The Innerwork Center

Build emotional resilience, reduce stress, improve your relationships and craft a more meaningful life - these are just some of the benefits of a regular mindfulness practice.  VCU and The Innerwork Center are proud to join together in bringing evidence-based mindfulness programming to the Richmond area. Through our partnership, we strive to cultivate a wiser and more compassionate RVA with a rich offering of classes to help you learn more about mindfulness - what it is and how to start a practice.  Through our courses, you will learn about the science of mindfulness and compassion as well as practical tips and advice to bring these concepts into your home, your work and your life.
