OUR STORY
We have been pioneers in mindful awareness in the education industry for over 12 years as Inner Explorer. We are expanding our dedication to the reach and impact of mindful awareness with advocacy, research, and strategic partnerships to embed daily mindful awareness into school curricula. Our mission, to continue activating the skills and opportunities for children to reach their full potential, is more critical today as we empower students to have some agency over their mental health and well-being.
