Sign up here to be paired with a Mindfulness Buddy to share your meditation experience with. In times of isolation and uncertainty, particularly if you are stuck in quarantine, we hope that this will help you stay grounded and supported. You may want to discuss your practice, share resources you have found helpful or simply check in regularly.
Keep a record of your experiences in your Mindfulness practice, or share them with a Mindfulness Buddy with this template - there are prompts and creative suggestions included to help inspire your writing.
