Shanthi Project

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to teaching social-emotional resiliency through mindfulness.

Founded in 2010, Shanthi Project teaches brain-based mindfulness techniques such as controlled movement, breathing, and meditation. Students learn valuable coping and life skills that cultivate self-awareness, enhance self-esteem and promote positive emotions, helping them establish healthy and productive relationships with themselves, their families, and their communities. Shanthi Project also su

pports and participates in scientific research on how mindfulness and yoga benefits trauma survivors, and its approach has been proven to reverse the effects that emotional and physical trauma has on the brain.

We're celebrating our final Now & Zen honor: the Legacy Builder Award! 🏆 Last (but certainly not least) we're spotlighting Annie Serfass. She's a truly stellar Shanthi Project Mindfulness Instructor & Workplace Trainer who's been with us for well over a decade.

This award honors a donor, employee, supporter, or thought-leader whose commitment and contributions have had a lasting impact on Shanthi Project's growth and success. For many years, Annie has championed our mission, and her service has left a enduring positive impact on our organization — and on everyone she's worked with! We consider ourselves truly lucky to have had Annie on our team since (nearly) Shanthi's founding.

It's not too late! Join us *this Friday* to celebrate Annie and the rest of our award winners! Get tickets ASAP at ShanthiProject.org/Now-And-Zen.

Big thanks to Bethlehem Downtown Rotary Club , one of our amazing funding partners! Their generosity enabled us to deliver our Bridge to Middle School programming in the Bethlehem Area School District during the 2025-2026 school year.

This program helps fifth-graders prepare for the big transition to middle school: a pivotal time in their lives. Through delivering instruction and providing resources, we're able to support the academic and social development of many local students, sparking long-term, sustainable change.
