Our
Mission
Our mission for #MeditateICT is to create a community-driven initiative that brings transformative meditative practices to Wichitans from all walks of life.
As part of this mission to we are dedicated to providing at least one FREE meditative event per month throughout the city as well as showcasing other events that empower our community to cultivate inner peace, mindfulness, and well-being.
We invite you to join us on this collective and transformative journey, as we aspire to be a catalyst for personal growth, ignite inner transformation, and contribute to the development of a more mindful Wichita. Whether you're seeking to reduce stress, enhance focus, or embark on a journey of self-discovery, #MeditateICT wants to support you in your path.
Together, let us unite and tap into the profound potential within each of us. Through the practice of becoming meditative, we can uncover the transformative impact it holds for our lives and, in unison, shape a more mindful and vibrant community in Wichita.
#MeditateICT inspires to cultivate a more peaceful and mindful society, both within our local community of Wichita, KS and beyond. Our foundation is built upon the transformative, well-researched, ancient practice of meditation, which has the power to help us "change our minds" and become consciously responsive instead of reactive.
Our overarching and enduring objective is to make a significant impact on the rate of suicide affecting our city.
What is
#MeditateICT?
#MeditateICT is dedicated to connecting our community to enlightening events that offer and showcase sustainable tools, exercises and practices for our community to become more meditative.
At the core of #MeditateICT's foundation lies the transformative practice of meditation. Meditation empowers individuals to become familiar with our mind and its processes so that we can have increased agency over where we focus. This is what meditation is: "to study or become familiar with". To learn more about why it is important to become meditative, go here. When we become familiar with our minds, we learn how to "change our minds" and cultivate a conscious responsive nature rather than a reactive one, allowing us to raise our consciousness.
The offerings will be as diverse as our community and be a range of transformative healing modalities like yoga, tai chi, dance, meditation, sound healing, somatic movement, art therapy, journaling, circle, and other proven healing arts.
These events serve as powerful platforms to practice our skills, tools, and learn new techniques that aid us in regulating the nervous system and cultivating a meditative mindset, not to mention being GREAT community connection points. (Hello. Are you ready to find your people?)
We are committed to accessibility, offering both free and donation-based events every month.
