Back to School with Inner Explorer

The Path to a Calm & Connected School Year

We redefine back to school with mindful awareness to start the school year off right! Research shows that when regular, daily mindfulness practice is implemented at the beginning of the school year, we can:

  • prevent behavioral challenges & lower suspension rates
  • create a class culture of focus, curiosity, and learning
  • establish compassion and connection within your classroom that is sustainable all year long


Discover the new School Safety Series, the transformative 21 Day Quest, and the empowering Tune In program, all tailored to support your efforts in establishing a consistent practice.

Together, let's embark on this journey to inspire a successful and fulfilling school year!

We know you're short on time, so we have prepared a concise back-to-school checklist. Rest assured the process of getting started will only take a few minutes.

School Safety Series

An innovative approach to safer, more resilient schools.

Many students, educators, and parents are struggling to adapt to growing mental and academic concerns, disruptions in the classroom, and uncertainty before them. Our School Safety Series is designed to supplement our Daily Practice Series to help everyone manage the heightened emotions that can manifest during drills and lockdowns.

  • Learn about the neuroscientific support for regular mindfulness practice to reduce the stress that interferes with learning and connection.
  • Help students and staff settle their nervous systems after a lockdown or safety drill.
  • Directly address targeted mental wellness with long term, sustainable practice.
