SMILE is more than a cute acronym to encourage you to bend the corners of your mouth upwards; it is a statement of truth for many people. Significant Moments Impact Lives Eternally, and that impact is experienced daily...for what can feel like an eternity.

SMILE Project Empowers, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization that believes education and connection with others are necessary to strengthen individuals and build communities. Through theme-specific programming, we enrich the lives of participants in ways that are reflective of their areas of need.

This program, The Mindful Journey, is dedicated to fostering mindfulness, self-reflection, and wellness through nature-based experiences for individuals and families. Our mission is to provide an accessible, community-centered opportunity for people to reconnect with themselves and the outdoors while promoting mental and physical well-being.

This unique program offers:

Guided Mindfulness Hike for Girls – A nature walk designed to cultivate mindfulness, confidence, and a sense of connection to the natural world. Girls will engage in reflective activities and gentle movement exercises to encourage self-awareness and inner strength. This portion of the program will be led by Soul Sistas Hike, Too.

Mindfulness & Self-Reflection Session for Women – A serene gathering focused on meditation, self-reflection, and guided discussions to promote self-discovery, emotional balance, and relaxation in a supportive community. This portion of the program will be led by Coach Q, certified life coach and founder of the Coach Therapy Community.

Yoga Session for Men & Boys – A strength-building and stress-relieving yoga session tailored for men and boys of all skill levels. This practice encourages focus, flexibility, and mindfulness while fostering a deeper connection between body and mind. This portion of the program will be led by yoga instructor, Eddie Williams.

Registration is per household, encouraging families to embark on their wellness journey together while benefiting from activities tailored to different needs. Whether you’re looking for personal growth, stress relief, or meaningful family bonding, The Mindful Journey provides a welcoming space to reset, reflect, and reconnect.

Join us in embracing the healing power of nature and mindfulness!
