Yes! I am mindful movement

 We recently met the Honourable Governor of Uttar Pradesh Smt. Anandiben Patel at her office at Raj Bhawan, Lucknow and appraised her about our intention to co-create Yes! I am Mindful Movement. She appreciated our vision and extended her good wishes. (Report)   

We engaged with 2024-26 PGP cohort of IIM Bangalore in 8 sessions conducting our flagship 'Tiny Actions, Gigantic Ripples' workshop for them. It was a part of orientation session in the context of Sustainability. (Report) 

 “This exercise is a strong starting point for anyone interested in embracing a more mindful and sustainable approach to consumption. Its simplicity, relatability, and potential for positive change make it an invaluable resource for introducing these vital concepts to a diverse audience." - Prof. Preeti Priya, Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) (Report)

 It was an exhilarating experience engaging with ~600 1st year students at K J Somaiya Institute of Management.
Thanks to Ramachandran sir for envisioning this whole engagement and taking a remarkable decision of bringing discussions around #Mindfulliving, responsible consumption and inner #wellbeing in the mainstream domain. (Report)

We truly believe that one must first be 'Be the Change' before they should attempt to 'Bring the Change' in order to inspire actions. In this context, Ashish Agrawal, our founder, completed 1000days of living with just 33-personal items. (Report)

 Our maiden publication ‘Eco-Bliss - Incorporating Mindful Consumption for Lasting Happiness' was launched on the eve of International Day of Climate Action. (Report)

It was lovely engaging with 75odd students at Institute of Architecture and Planning of Nirma University.

 Participants expressed a motivation level of 83% committing to act more mindfully post session whereas they gave the session the staggering rating of 9.7/10. (Report)

 A memorable interaction with the faculty members. The innumerable questions raising concerns about the desired impact of Yes! I am movement made our day.
It surfaced the real on-ground struggles (#peerpressure, #aspirations, greed, etc.) that we, the middle-class people, are facing as individuals daily and the lack of hope we fight every day when it comes to witnessing an #honest, #transparent and #mindful society in near future. (Report) 

 On the eve of #WorldPlasticBagfree day, we organized our 1st in-person meetups in four cities - Bangalore, Pune, Gandhinagar and Vadodara.
The invitees belonged to an online group of like-minded people practicing Mindful Consumption and conscious lifestyle in their personal journeys brought together by us with an aim to co-create a #movement Yes! I am Mindful in due course. (Report)

 “The workshop was thought provoking, inspiring and I would say magical as it showed me how I can be the change by small steps. Bridge4Change through mindfulness in our lifestyles, reduce and restore mother nature” - Neha Puri (Senior HRM at Honeywell) (Report)

A 10-day tour where we engaged with 231 participants across 6-institutions of varied profiles - Academic institutions, NGOs, IT firm and voluntary groups. The sessions received an overall rating of 9.1/10. (Report)

We engaged with 380 professors, development professionals and students representing 10 institutions at 8 locations in India. Thanks to our UK based partner ProjectCHAKRA for co-facilitating this memorable trip.  (Report)

 On the occasion of International Day of Climate Action, we had an enriching engagement today at i-Hub Gujarat through a simulation-based activity on urban waste management system  sensitizing about:
a. the phenomenal contribution of sanitation workers in keeping our city Clean & Green.
b. disparities playing out around us in our daily lives in terms of respect, exposure, finance and many more. (Report)

This Environment Day was special. 

 After the last couple of years of learning, sharing and building a strong foundation, we are now gradually witnessing a space being nurtured where Mindful Consumption is seen as an informed, conscious and obvious lifestyle choice. 

 Continuing our efforts in this direction, we launched a few initiatives of this day. (Report)

"Workshop clearly shows the difference between knowing about someone' s pain and feeling for same after going through that pain. Thank you so much for instilling empathy as well as making them understand the nuances of social enterprises." - Prof. Shankar Purbey - Dean, Academics (DMI, Patna) (Report)

Our maiden paper on Mindful Consumption as a tool for Systemic Change is being accepted on different forums for detailed sharing. The co-author of the paper Prof. Satyendra Nath Mishra, XIM University, gave a talk on this topic at the recently concluded The 9th World Sustainability Forum.  

 We are facilitating a 3-hr reflective workshop along with 15/30hrs in-depth courses, sharing the crucial role of Mindful Consumption in achieving Sustainable well-being at personal level and Social Impact at community level.
