Welcome
Joyful Mind Project is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fostering collective and individual wellbeing.
Our mission is creating an equitable and just society through compassionate action.
We do this by working in solidarity with people of all backgrounds, by listening, learning, and creating spaces where health and wholeness can emerge.
Our work began in 2007, by providing mindfulness-based services to parents, children, and community groups.
We received our nonprofit status in 2016 and expanded our work to include programs supporting schools and educators.
announcing a new INITIATIVE!
Beginning in September 2022, we’re launching a new mental health initiative. We hope you’ll stay tuned for more information on upcoming clinical services, including individual and group psychotherapy. You can learn more about this important work here.
““If you’ve come to help me, you’re wasting your time. But if you’ve come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.””
personal and social transformation
Joyful Mind Project’s work begins with a social justice framework, prioritizing opportunities to serve and collaborate with people who have been historically denied access to resources.
We work alongside people, intentionally fostering liberated relationships and seeking to create partnerships that support mental health. We believe that these authentic interactions can support ripples of positive change. In this way, transformation and healing can spiral outward into our greater communities, repeating liberating fractal patterns like seashells, sunflowers, and galaxies.

We Stand for Racial Justice
As an organization, Joyful Mind Project is committed to taking an anti-racist stance -- to going beyond "not being racist" and instead, asking ourselves what we can do to help dismantle systems of privilege and oppression… and then taking action.
WE stand for lgbtq+ rights
Aware of the harmful impacts of oppression and discrimination based on both sexual orientation and gender identity, we stand in solidarity with people of all sexual identities, and trans, gender-questioning, gender non-conforming, and two-spirit people.
