DAYS OF GIVING!
In most years SMI conducts its annual fundraising in cooperation with the Community Foundation’s Day of Giving but since they will not be holding an event this year, we will be conducting our own SMI Days of Giving.
Your contribution to SMI supports our current programs, including our Introduction to Mindfulness classes, Mindful Eating and Mindful Movement classes. We also hold free day long retreats and many of you attend our drop-in Wednesday and Friday meditation sessions. SMI offers classes at New College and Sarasota Memorial Hospital, reaching students and staff who otherwise may not have the opportunity to partake in mindfulness meditation training.
Your contribution is greatly appreciated. To donate by credit card or Pay Pal, click here. To pledge an amount and send a check, click here.
Stronger Together
During these challenging times, while we are all navigating uncertainty, the support of our community is essential. More than ever we are committed to creating a safe space for our community to share in mindfulness by continuing to host our weekly meditations.
Since the beginning of the pandemic SMI has been offering our weekly sits and classes on Zoom. We will continue to do so until it is safe to meet in person once again. We look forward to seeing you on Zoom.
