Our Heart-Mind Box Project: Available for the Holidays!

As we enter the holiday season, we would like to introduce you to our Heart-Mind Box project! The Heart-Mind Box is a quarterly gender-neutral surprise subscription box of unique items with stories from around the world, curated to nurture your heart-mind well-being through connection and creativity. When we began this project in 2020, it was with a passion for raising awareness of the importance of mental wellness, and to expand outside our network of those who work with and care for children. 

The boxes are filled with items for adults that want to invest in their own Heart-Mind Well-Being, while at the same time giving back. They can also be a great thoughtful holiday gift for your team at work, a loved one, or anyone who could benefit from the values and work of the Dalai Lama Center. 

Limited edition items include hand-crafted mala bracelets from Nepal made specifically for the Heart-Mind Box, and packaged inside a hand-crafted Lokta paper box that allows the recipient to keep one bracelet and gift the other. See the interview with the Tibetan vendor who sourced and oversaw production here.  

By purchasing a box, you will also be helping to support us, as each box donates a significant portion of net proceeds back to our work at the Dalai Lama Center for Peace & Education. The Dalai Lama Center for Peace & Education is a non-profit charitable organization based in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. We are co-founded by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and at his request we are a non-religious and non-political organization so that our work is accessible to everyone. All of our work is centred on Heart-Mind well-being - which is our unique, evidence-informed framework for social and emotional development. It supports several areas of kids’ lives - helping them to become Secure & Calm, Alert & Engaged, to Get Along with Others, to Solve Problems Peacefully and to be Compassionate & Kind.

Last year, through the thousands of parents, caregivers, educators and counsellors we work with, we reached over 700,000 children and youth ...and we welcome you to become part of this legacy.
