NMSHS Volleyball Team - Student Athlete Mindfulness Retreat

MFP supported the Nederland Middle-Senior High School’s volleyball team with a grant of $1000 to fund a mindfulness and team building overnight retreat.

“By learning how to implement self-regulating strategies in challenging times, young people can apply them to situations they encounter throughout their lives. By participating as a group in developing Mindfulness and Gratitude practices we are developing peaceful mindsets by fostering patience, emotional regulation, and a focus on the good in life. This inner peace naturally extends to more peaceful interactions with others, making both practices fundamental to broader peace-building efforts.

Mindfulness and gratitude are deeply interconnected with peace practices as they promote inner calm, awareness, and a positive mindset, which are essential for cultivating both personal and communal peace.”
